Abstract This paper contains an exact closed solution for the stress distribution around a cavity in the shape of an ellipsoid of revolution in an infinite elastic body which is otherwise in an arbitrary uniform plane state of stress perpendicular to the axis of revolution of the cavity. The solution is based upon an extension to orthogonal curvilinear co-ordinates of the classical three-function approach to three-dimensional problems of the theory of elasticity. The technically important features of the ensuing stress concentration are discussed in detail.

A review of the Stress Concentration Factors (SCFs) obtained from normal and oblique holes in thick flat plates loaded in uniaxial tension has been conducted. The review focuses on values from the plate surface and discusses the ramifications of making a plane stress assumption.

Based on an established theory of anisotropic plasticity, a class of axisymmetric plane stress problems is solved for sheet metals which harden according to a power law and are isotropic in their plane. A new method of solution, the stress plane method, is used. The analytic solutions for the problems considered are obtained in the stress plane. The stress-concentration factors introduced by a hole or a rigid inclusion at the center of an infinite sheet are obtained for arbitrary degree of anisotropy and strain-hardening characteristics. The influence of anisotropy and strain-hardening on the deep-drawing problem is also studied. The results show that the type of anisotropy and strain-hardening assumed always influences the stress concentration and drawability in a favorable way.

AbstractA circular disc of radius a, made of homogeneous, isotropic, linearly elastic material, contains a radial edge crack of length b(0 < b < 2a). The disc is in equilibrium in a state of generalized plane stress caused by loading the faces of the crack by a constant internal pressure. The problem of determining the resulting stress field throughout the disc is solved analytically in closed form. The principal results are that the stress concentration factor at the crack tip, the total strain energy W, and the opening U at the mouth of the crack, are given exactly bywhere A is a constant whose value correct to 6 significant figures isand , W0, U0 are normalising factors defined in section 6.

Based on detailed three-dimensional finite element analyses, elastic stress and strain field of ellipse major axis end in plates with different thickness and ellipse configurations subjected to uniaxial tension have been investigated. The plate thickness and ellipse configuration have obvious effects on the stress concentration factor, which is higher in finite thickness plates than in plane stress and plane strain cases. The out-of-plane stress constraint factor tends the maximum on the mid-plane and approaches to zero on the free plane. Stress concentration factors distribute ununiformly through the plate thickness, the value and location of maximum stress concentration factor depend on the plate thickness and the ellipse configurations. Both stress concentration factor in the middle plane and the maximum stress concentration factor are greater than that under plane stress or plane strain states, so it is unsafe to suppose a tensioned plate with finite thickness as one undergone plane stress or plane strain. For the sharper notch, the influence of three-dimensional stress state on the SCF must be considered.
