A SUMMARY OF STRESS CONCENTRATIONS IN THE VICINITY OF OPENINGS IN SHIP STRUCTURES

A summary of stress concentration studies has been provided for the case of single and multiple openings in plate structures. The report summarizes some published theoretical studies as well as some previously unpublished photoelastic studies performed at the Center. Also included are comments for modifications of the design criteria currently used for openings on ships. (Author)
