Contour lines of equivalent stress around a circular hole in a plate under uniaxial load, crowding at the hole’s sides.

Stress around a hole

Kirsch, 1898. Closed-form plane-stress solution; von Mises contours.

The exact elastic stress field around a circular hole in an infinite plate under uniaxial load; the hoop stress at the hole’s sides is three times the applied stress.

Field: Solid mechanics
Nature: Exact computation of a published object; not a Lixiviant result.
