Analysis for Anisotropic Elastic Body with Two Elliptical Holes Subjected to In-Plane and Out-of-Plane Shear Loadings

Abstract

This paper shows a numerical solutions for infinite anisotropic medium containing two elliptical holes. Anisotropic body is uniformly subjected to in-plane or out-of-plane shear loadings at infinity, and is allowed coupling effect between in-plane problem and out-of-plane shear problem. Collocation method is used to derive the solution for the analytical model, and as the special case, stress intensity factor at the crack tip is also obtained by complex stress functions. Several numerical examples are given diagrammatically, and some of these examples are compared with existing result, which is assumed that the medium is behaved as isotropic or orthotropic material.
