A Non-Singular Analytical Technique for Reinforced Non-Circular Holes in Orthotropic Laminate

The intricacy in Lekhnitskii’s available single power series solution for stress distribution around hole edge for both circular and noncircular holes represented by a hole shape parameter ε is decoupled by introducing a new technique. Unknown coefficients in the power series in ε are solved by an i...
