F E Analysis of SCF, Deflection in Isotropic and Orthotropic Rectangular Plates with a Circular Hole near the Edge of the Plate Under Transverse Loading

: The study of stress concentration factor ( S C F ) for the rectangular plate with eccentric circular hole under transverse load is analyzed by numerically with the help of Finite Element Method. The material used for the plate is isotropic and orthotropic in nature, from this analysis author found that the variation in the SCF to a/c ratio (a/c ratio, where ‘a’ is radius of circle and ‘c’ is distance between longer edge of the plate to center of the circle) in the rang of 0.01 to 0.9. In this paper four boundary condition are applied and SCF was calculated. The results are shown in graphically and also discussed variation of SCF with the position of the hole. The finite element formulation is carried out by using the software ANSYS. The deflection behavior of a rectangular plate under transverse load is also presented in this paper.
