On the Influence of an Infinite Row of Holes on the Transverse Flexure of a Thin Plate

Abstract

In this paper, a problem of determining the stress distribution produced by an infinite series of equal and equally spaced circular holes in a thin plate subjected to bending or twisting moments is treated with the help of real variables. Here the plate is considered subject to the limitation of the Poisson-Kirchhoff theory of bending and a method of perturbation is adopted for the determination of the coefficients contained in the solution. For some special cases numerical results are given.
