Elliptical hole in an infinite panel in tension

Elliptical hole in an infinite panel in tension σ σ σ max 2a 2 b
Elliptical hole in an infinite panel in tension

Values for calculation

$ σ $ $ \mathrm{MPa} $
$ a $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ b $ $ \mathrm{mm} $

Calculation

Stress concentration factor with the nominal stress based on gross area

$$K_{tg}=1+\cfrac{2\cdot a}{b}$$

Maximum normal stress

$$σ_{max}=K_{tg}\cdot σ$$
