Opis

Depending on the service requirements it becomes necessary to include openings/Cutouts in structural members. Plate being an integral part of structural members subjected to these type of openings. The application based structural members possess different set of openings individually or all-together. In this part of research work an emphasis has been made to review the investigation carried out numerically on the stress analysis of a circular plate having Cutouts. The approach mainly carried out with two steps. In the first step a conventional material based uniform plate considered for elliptical, triangular cutouts, along with base shapes of circular, square, rectangular types. In the second step the study if extended to orthotropic material Glass epoxy. The numerical computations performed are carried out using Finite element analysis based software ANSYS. The accuracy of the methodology adopted for present work is checked by comparing the results available with the literature .From the comparison the results showed a good agreement between them and the adopted methodology can be used in accurate prediction of deformations and various stresses.
