S12 Stress Concentrations of an Elastic Infinite Plate with a Circular Rigid Inclusion Under Harmonic Vibration Loads

Abstract

This paper deals with the stress concentration problem of an elastic infinite plate with a circular rigid inclusion under harmonic vibration loads. Applying a fundamental solution of the two dimensional elastodynamics for harmonic vibration problems, we present a method of solution for the inclusion problem. It is assumed that the infinite elastic plate is under a plane strain conditions. Stress distributions around the inclusion are investigated.
