Stress Concentration in Glass-Epoxy Composite Plates.

Abstract

This thesis reports a study of the stress concentration caused by holes out of center in thin plates of finite width made of crossply fiberglass composites. The results are reported in the form of the stress concentration factor, Ktg, as a function of two nondimensional parameters, one representing the influence of the size of the holes and the other representing their eccentricity. Thus graphs plotted for Ktg may be used for thin plates with holes of different dimensions. (Author)
