SCF_11

Plate with centered hole under tension

Function SCF_11 returns the stress concentration factor for a plate with centered hole of diameter d. The plate is subject to axial tension along its length.

Inputs:
H - the width of the plate ([m] or [ft])
d - the diameter of the hole ([m] or [ft])

Example:
$Load Mechanical Design
$UnitSystem SI K Pa
H=032 [m]
d=0.075[m]
SCF=scf_11(H,d)

{Solution:
SCF=2.997
}
