Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to determine more accurately the stress concentrations in tensile strips having large circular holes where the ratio of the hole diameter to strip width is greater than 0.5 Results of numerical elasticity analyses are presented for ratios of hole diameter to bar width ranging from 0.10 to 0.99, and photoelastic data are presented for the range from 0.40 to 0.94. Both numerical results and photoelastic data indicate that the stress-concentration factor based on net area approaches a value of one as the ratio of hole diameter to bar width approaches a value of one.
