Stress fields on an isotropic semi-infinite plane with a circular hole subjected to arbitrary loads using the constraint-release technique

Abstract
    In this paper, the solution of a semi-infinite plane with one circular hole is presented. This solution is induced by repeatedly superposing the solution of an infinite plane with one circular hole and that of a semi-infinite plane without holes to cancel out the stresses arising on both boundaries. This procedure isrncarried out until the stresses arising on both boundaries converge. This method does not require complicated calculation procedures as does the method using stress functions defined in a bipolar coordinate system. Some numerical results are shown by graphical representations.
 
Key Words
    shallow circular hole; arbitrary load; stress analysis; constraint-release technique.
