Stress-Distribution around Pin-Loaded Hole for Orthotropic Laminates

Abstract:

Stresses were calculated for orthotropic laminate plate loaded by a frictionless pin in a circular hole of the same diameter. These calculations were based on finite-element analysis for five laminates; 0⁰, [±45⁰]_s, [0⁰/90⁰]_s,[0⁰/±45⁰]_s, and quasi-isotropic [0⁰/±45⁰/90⁰]_s. stress distribution, based on nominal bearing stress, were determined for wide ranges of the ratios of width to diameter and edge distance to diameter. Orthotropic had a significant influence on both the magnitude and location of the maximum tensile stress concentration on the boundary of the hole. The laminates with 0⁰ plies developed the peak tensile stress near the ends of the pin-hole contact arc. But the ±45⁰ laminates had peaks where ply fiber were tangent to the hole. The finite width and edge distances strongly influenced the tensile stress concentration. In contrast, the finite widths and edge distances had little effect on bearing stress concentration. For the practical range w/d = 2, the peak tensile stresses were as much as 50 percent larger than the infinite-laminate value. For e/d=1, these stresses were greater 60 percent than infinite-laminate value. In contrast, the finite width and edge distance had little effect on bearing stress concentrations.
