Investigation of Stress Effects Between Equal Diameter Holes in a Perforated Stip

Solutions developed by Chih-Bing Ling in two dimensional elasticity are used to investigate stresses in a perforated strip under pure tension. Results of a strain gage test show close correlation with the two dimensional theory of elasticity. A series of curves are plotted to show the effects of stress for various configurations of hole size, hole spacing, and strip width. Areas of investigation are between the holes and at ninety degrees to the tensile axis.
