Basic Plate Question
Basic Plate Question
(OP)
Hi Everyone, I have a basic question on plates and was hoping one of you know the answer. This is an academic question, if we have two cases where:
Case 1: A steel plate with a hole in the center experiences pure tension of force F on both sides.
Case 2: A steel plate with a hole in the center is fixed on one end and experiences tension of force F on ONE side.
Are these two cases considered equivalent? I.E. the stress seen in the plate will be analytically the same? Or is the force applied to Case 2 required in increase by two to match the stresses seen in Case 1? I am confused.
Does anyone know the answer? Thank you.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

reacting the applied tesnion with a tension force permits the loaded edge to conform to poisson effects, a 1D stress field.
reacting the applied tension with a constraint usually inhibits poission induced displacements, creating a 2D stress field.
