Because of the continuous changes of mechanical properties of functionally graded materials and therefore reducing the effects of stress concentration, many researchers are interested in studying the behavior and use of these materials in various industries. For the correct design of perforated inhomogeneous plate is needed to know the accurate information about the deformation and stress distribution in different points of the plate especially around the hole. In this paper, is tried to present the analytical solution to calculate the 2D stress distribution around the circular hole in long FG plate, by using the complex potential functions method. The plate subjected to constant uniaxial or biaxial stress. One of the most important goal of this research is to study the effect of compression load applied to the hole boundary on stress distribution around the hole. The variation of material properties, especially Young's modulus is in a radial direction and concentric to the hole. The special exponential function is used to describe the variation of mechanical properties. The finite element method has been used to check the accuracy of analytical results for homogeneous and heterogeneous plates, also for all loading cases. In the presence of applied load at the boundary of circular hole, amount of radial stress in addition to hoop stress is considerable. Therefore the Von Mises stress is used to study the stress around the hole. The results showed that inhomogeneous plate with increased modulus of elasticity has greater load bearing capacity with respect to homogeneous plate.

One of the concerns of designers of engineering structures is structural failure due to stress concentration caused by geometric discontinuities in the structures. Therefore, by considering that perforated composite plates are used in most engineering structures, their study is very important. The purpose of this paper is to present a new model based on the regression method for estimating stress concentration factor of a circular hole in orthotropic plates. One of the important applications of providing stress distribution around holes in terms of mechanical properties is the use of these relationships in the stress analysis of perforated viscoelastic plate using the effective modulus method or Boltzmann's superposition principle. First, using different values of the mechanical properties of the composites plates, and employing an analytical solution based on the complex variable method, the stress concentration factor of circular hole is calculated for a number of these materials. Then, using multiple linear regression, an explicit expression for the stress concentration factor is given in terms of mechanical properties. The results show that the multiple regression model is able to predict the circumferential stress with a maximum error of less than 1%.

ٍExperimental studies indicates that the mechanical behavior of materials at micro and nano scales are size-dependent. Since the classical continuum mechanics theories cannot capture the size effect, employment of different non-classical theories has received a considerable attention among researchers. In this study, the finite element formulation is presented to investigate the bending of square microplates with circular hole subjected to uniform pressure based on the three-dimensional strain gradient elasticity theory. For this account, the 8-node C^1 continuous hexahedral element is introduced in which, in addition to the values of displacement components, some related higher-order mix derivatives are further considered as nodal values. The governing equations are derived based on the strain gradient theory and three-dimensional elasticity model and the finite element formulation is presented using the introduced element. Note that by considering some specified values for coefficients of strain gradient theory, the numerical results can be obtained for modified strain gradient theory and modified couple stress theory. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed finite element, the convergence and accuracy of the results are firstly checked and then the impacts of geometrical parameters on the bending of microplates with circular hole are studied.
