A Note on the Two Dimensional Stresses of Orthogonally Aeolotropic Plates

Abstract

The method of analysis of two dimensional stresses of orthogonally aeolotropic plates has been well formulated and treated by many authors. It seems, however, somewhat laborious. In this paper, the another's method of analysis is attempted by the use of Muschelisvili's theorem which is used in the two dimensional stress analysis of isotropic plates. As examples, (1) an infinite plate with an elliptic hole and subjected to uniform stresses at infinity, (2) an infinite plate with a circular hole and subjected to a concentrated load, and (3) an infinite plate with an elliptic hole and subjected to a pair of concentrated loads on the boundary, are treated.
