The results of an extensive ‘frozen-stress’ photoelastic investigation of the stresses at isolated oblique holes in thick wide plates subjected to uniform uniaxial tension are used to provide stress concentration factors at holes resulting from any form of biaxial in-plane loading. The work covers plate thickness/hole diameter ratios from 1.3 to 3.0 and hole obliquity angles up to 60 degrees. Over these ranges the effects of changes in the plate thickness/hole diameter ratio are not of major importance but the effects of changes in the angle of obliquity are considerable.

An empirical equation has been obtained for the elastic stress concentration factor at an isolated oblique circular-cylindrical hole in a thick flat plate subjected to a uniform, arbitrarily oriented uniaxial tension. The equation is presented and its development is outlined in this note.

SummaryThe introduction of an interference-fit pin in a circular hole in a flat plate is found to result in a reduction in the stress concentration factor at the hole boundary under tension applied to the plate. The S.C.F. decreases rapidly with increase in the ratio of interference stress to applied tension, and decreases also with increase in the ratio of hole diameter to width of plate. Very little difference in the S.C.F. is found for different ratios of Young's modulus of pin and plate.

Crystallographic studies of rabbit Fc using X-ray diffraction patterns were recently reported. The unit cell constants were reported to be a = 69. 2 A°, b = 73. 1 A°, c = 60. 6 A°, B = 104° 30', space group P21, monoclinic, volume of asymmetric unit V = 148, 000 A°3. The molecular weight of the fragment was determined to be 55, 000 ± 2000 which is in agreement with earlier determinations by other methods.Fc crystals were formed in water or dilute phosphate buffer at neutral pH. The resulting crystal was a flat plate as previously described. Preparations of small crystals were negatively stained by mixing the suspension with equal volumes of 2% silicotungstate at neutral pH. A drop of the mixture was placed on a carbon coated grid and allowed to stand for a few minutes. The excess liquid was removed and the grid was immediately put in the microscope.

The most advanced macromolecular materials are found in plants and animals, and certainly the connective tissues in mammals are amongst the most advanced macromolecular composites known to mankind. The efficient use of collagen, a fibrous protein, in the design of both soft and hard connective tissues is worthy of comment. Very crudely, in bone collagen serves as a highly efficient binder for the inorganic hydroxyappatite which stiffens the structure. The interactions between the organic fiber of collagen and the inorganic material seem to occur at the nano (scale) level of organization. Epitatic crystallization of the inorganic phase on the fibers has been reported to give a highly anisotropic, stress responsive, structure. Soft connective tissues also have sophisticated oriented hierarchical structures. The collagen fibers are “glued” together by a highly hydrated gel-like proteoglycan matrix. One of the simplest structures of this type is tendon which functions primarily in uniaxial tension as a reinforced elastomeric cable between muscle and bone.
