Stress Analysis on Cracking Plate Structure For Reducing Stress Concentration

reducing stress concentration factor around a hole on a plate by piezoelectric patch

using piezoelectric patches the stress concentration around a hole on a plate under tension is reduced and controlled. to attain the reduction in stress two placements for piezoelectric patches is investigated. the first location is top/bottom of the hole with compression induced strain and the second is left/right of the hole with tension induced strains to control the stress flow. the result ...

Stress concentration in a circular hole in composite plate

A non-contact measurement method, namely electronic speckle pattern interferometer (ESPI), was used to investigate the tensile strain field of a composites plate in the presence of stress concentrations caused by a geometrical defect consisting of circular hole. ESPI uses the principle of 3D speckle interferometry to measure the deformation and contour of the measuring field with submicrometer ...
