The stress concentration factor is one of the most significant factors in design engineering in
the modern era with lots of objectives across the world. Stress concentration is the …

In this paper, some investigations on two-dimensional steady potential flow over polygonal
shaped cylinders are presented. The polygonal shapes with finite corner radius are obtained …

The stress intensity factors (SIFs) of the kinked crack emanating from a hole in an infinite
plate are calculated by Muskhelishvili's formalism. A numerical Schwarz–Christoffel (SC) …

The existing fracturing technology in shale gas production lacks compatibility between
efficiency and environmental concerns, which significantly hinders the industrial production …

Two sets of Green's functions for anisotropic elastic media containing a polygonal hole with
rounded corners are presented. Analyzing non-elliptical holes poses a formidable …

Thin-walled perforated structures are widely used in modern industry, where cracks may
emanate from the hole edges due to structural loads and manufacturing processes …

A generalized formulation to determine the stresses around the polygonal shaped hole in
anisotropic finite plate is presented in the paper. The stress concentration at the rounded …

The analytical solution for uniform potential flow around two similar or dissimilar polygonal
cylinders is obtained by using complex potential function for a doublet trapped in an …

Under the remote thermal loading, the thermal stress analysis for a hypocycloid-type crack is
carried out. Two kinds of thermal conditions are assumed along the hypocycloid-type crack …

Realistic crack morphologies are generally sinuous rather than straight, which brings a great
challenge to capture accurately the stress intensity factors at the crack tip. In this paper, a …
