An Analytical Approach to Reduce the Stress Concentration around a Circular Hole in a Functionally Graded Material Plate under Axial Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents an analytical method to reduce the stress concentration in a functionally graded material (FGM) plate, having a circular cutout, under axial loading. An exponential radial variation and the variation by the power law, of the Young’s modulus is assumed here. This is achieved by decomposing the plate into a number of rings. Muskhelishivili’s method of the complex variable function is used for this piece of work study of stress distribution in the plate. It is observed that the stress concentration decreases as the Young’s modulus increases radially away from the hole.
