T-STRESSES IN RECTANGULAR PHASES AND CIRCULAR DISKS

The aim of the present note is to compile T-stress results for a numbe r of rectangular components and circular disks under different loading s. In addition, Green's function representations are proposed, which e nable the determination of T for arbitrarily given stress states (resi dual stresses, thermal stresses) in the uncracked body and a method is applied, which allows the computation of T;stresses for any traction distribution at the plate ends. The results are presented in the form of tables, diagrams and polynomials. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. Al l rights reserved.
