Stress Concentration Factors For V-Notched Plates Under Axisymmetric Pressure, Nathan J. Mutter
Stress Concentration Factors For V-Notched Plates Under Axisymmetric Pressure, Nathan J. Mutter
HIM 1990-2015
The topic of this thesis is the investigation of the local states of stress resulting from the introduction of av-notch in a coaxial circle on the pressurized surface of a circumferentially clamped plate subject to axisymmetric loading. The understanding of the fracture behavior of a component experiencing such a condition is of particular interest to the aerospace and defense industries where circular plate components are often utilized. In such applications, it is imperative that the designer be able to predict the loading conditions facilitating dynamic fracture. As a step towards solving such problems, the quasi-static analogy is studied. Specifically, the …
