Abstract

In this paper, by expanding the Lekhnitiskii’s solution, the stress distribution around quasi-rectangular hole has been studied. Lekhnitiskii used complex variables analytic method for stress analysis of anisotropic plates with circular and elliptical hole. In order to extend the Lekhnitiskii’s analytical method for stress analysis of perforated symmetric laminates with non-circular holes, by means of conformal mapping, the area external to the hole can be represented by the area outside the unit circle. In this paper, try to study the effect of different parameters such as aspect ratio, stacking sequence, rotation angle of hole, bluntness and load angle on stress distribution around quasi-rectangular hole. The finite element method has been used to check the accuracy of analytical results. The analytical results are in good agreement with the numerical results. The results presented herein, indicated that the presented method can be used to determine accurately the stresses and stress concentration in composite plates with special shape cutouts .The results obtained clearly demonstrate the effect of these parameters on maximum stresses in perforated plates subjected to uni-axial tensile load. appropriate selection of bluntness and rotation angle of hole, can decrease stress concentration.

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to present the method to evaluate the stress distribution around quasi-rectangular hole in infinite isotropic plate subjected to uniform heat flow at infinity. The used method is the development of the Goodier and Florence’s method for the thermoelastic problem of uniform heat flow. Goodier and Florence used their solution for stress analysis of isotropic plates with circular and elliptical holes. In order to expand this method to solve the perforated plates with non circular holes, by means of conformal mapping, the infinite area external to the hole can be represented by the area outside the unit circle. In this paper, thermal-insulated condition along the hole boundary is assumed. Amongst the important parameters in hole geometry are rotation angle of hole, bluntness and aspect ratio of hole size. The results obtained demonstrate the effect of these parameters on stress distribution around quasi-rectangular hole and the correct selection of these parameters, lowest thermal stress rather than amount of stress corresponding to circular hole can be achieved. This method can be used for study of the stress analysis of plate with various holes.

Abstract

In this paper, a novel method for designing the flight paths of an aircraft is presented based on the concept of conformal mapping. Here, a low-altitude route-planning problem has been considered. In this problem, maintaining the control effort to reduce aircraft's altitude and increasing the speed with the limitations of Terrain Following (TF) and Terrain Avoidance (TA) issues, is the main strategy of this performance maneuver. In the proposed approach, attempts are made to convert the real space including terrains and obstacles, in which their data are provided using a digital elevation map, into a pseudo obstacle-free virtual space with no barriers and altitude constraints. In this regard, the concept of conformal mapping has been used as a facilitating mathematical tool for this problem-solving space transformation. The transformation of the problem-solving spaces under the mapping leads to solving the problem of dynamic reflection, the performance criterion, and the real altitude constraints in the virtual space. It is noteworthy that in designing a path in a newly converted space, the effect of barriers on the formation of flight routes is somehow included in the equations expressed in the virtual space. The results of multiple case studies and numerical optimizations performed for 2D geometrical terrains and obstacles show that the proposed approach is more consistent with the basic flight concepts as well as real-world applications.
