StressCheck Demo: Computing 2D and 3D Stress Concentrations for an Infinite Plate with Hole in Tension
Abstract: using numerical simulation to determine the minimum width-to-diameter ratio (W/d) in 2D, and the minimum thickness-to-diameter ratio (thk/d) in 3D, required to represent the stress concentration factor (Kt) of a plate with hole in tension to within 1% error as compared to the theoretically-derived Kt = 3 for the case of an infinite plate with a circular hole (W/d=∞) under uniaxial loading.
