SummaryThis paper considers the problem of a reinforced circular hole in a bent or twisted flat elastic plate having small deflections. The reinforcement is chosen so that the ratio of its radial width to the diameter of the hole is small; this implies that there is no radial stress variation across sections of the reinforcement. Using the classical theory for bending, expressions are obtained for the boundary conditions at the junction of the reinforcement and plate. The expressions are general in so far as they are also applicable to plates under the action of lateral loading. The following particular problems are considered: —(a) uniform bending about one or two axes, (b) uniform twisting about two axes. For the particular case of uniform bending about one axis, data has been obtained for the stress concentration around holes for plates and reinforcements having a reasonably wide range of practical dimensions.

Using the method of complex analysis, the study investigates the circular orifice problem for 2k periodic radial cracks through constructing conformal mapping, and provides an analytical solution for the crack-tip stress intensity factor (SIF). From this we have simulated the circular orifice problems of cross-shaped cracks, symmetrical eight-cracks, single cracks, symmetrical double-cracks, and symmetrical four-cracks.
