Vg. Ukadgaonker et Pj. Awasare, INTERACTION EFFECTS OF 2 ARBITRARILY ORIENTED UNEQUAL ELLIPTIC HOLES SUBJECTED TO UNIFORM TANGENTIAL SHEARS AT THE HOLE BOUNDARIES, INDIAN JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING AND MATERIALS SCIENCES, 1(2), 1994, pp. 84-92
The two dimensional elasto-static problem of two unequal arbitrarily o
riented elliptical holes subjected to uniform shears is solved in this
paper. The problem is formulated in complex plane by using Kolosoff-M
uskhelishvili stress functions. The interaction effect of two holes is
achieved by use of Schwarz Alternating Method. The solution for the p
roblem is obtained up to the third approximation, but it is found that
the solution converges in second approximation. Ellipse can be made a
circle or crack. This leads to various combinations of the geometries
for which either stress concentration factor in case of hole or stres
s intensity factor in case of crack can be obtained from present solut
ion.
