SCF_14

Plate with eccentric hole under tension

Function SCF_14 returns the stress concentration factor for a finite width plate with an eccentric hole subject to tension applied along its length.

Inputs:
H - the width of the plate ([m] or [ft])
e - the distance of the hole from the edge (either edge may be used) ([m] or [ft])
d - the diameter of the hole ([m] or [ft])
t - the thickness of the plate ([m] or [ft])

Example:
$Load Mechanical Design
$UnitSystem SI K Pa
H=0.32 [m]
e=0.025 [m]
d=0.025[m]
t=0.021 [m]
SCF=scf_14(H,e,d,t)

{Solution:
SCF=2.148
}
