Membrane and Bending Stresses Around an Elliptic Hole in a Cylindrical Shell.
Abstract
A theoretical analysis is presented for the membrane and bending stresses around an elliptic hole in an infinitely long, thin circular cylindrical shell. The major axis of the elliptic hole is taken to be perpendicular to shell axis. The shell is loaded by a uniformly distributed bending moment around the elliptic cutout. The method of solution involves perturbation in a curvature parameter. The results obtained are valid, if the hold is small in size compared to the radius of the cylindrical shell. Expressions for the stresses at the tip of a circumferential and axial crack are also presented.
