Boundary Element Study of a Loaded Hole in an Orthotropic Plate
TLDR
In this paper, the authors developed an efficient boundary element method (BEM) for use in the analysis of composite structures, principally loaded holes in mechanically fastened composites, and verified the validity of the method by computing the stress concentration factor in a double lap joint for different hole sizes and various boundary conditions.Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to develop an efficient boundary element method (BEM) for use in the analysis of composite structures, principally loaded holes in mechanically fastened composites. The idea is to modify the BEM by an analytical scheme to evaluate boundary stresses and deformations accurately. The validity of the method is verified by computing the stress concentration factor in a double lap joint for different hole sizes and various boundary conditions.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, a quick and efficient means of determining stress intensity factors, KI and KII, for cracks in generally orthotropic elastic bodies is presented using the numerical boundary integral equation (BIE) method, based on the use of quarter-point singular crack-tip elements in the quadratic isoparametric element formulation.
