    The document summarizes the results of finite element analyses in Abaqus to determine stress intensity factors for a plate with a central hole under uniaxial loading. The finite element analysis results closely matched analytical solutions, with errors below 1%. Refining the mesh brought the finite element results closer to some analytical solutions, but excessive refinement degraded results without improving accuracy. The analyses validated the meshing technique for modeling stress concentration in a plate with a central hole.

    Percentage difference evolution of the stress intensity factor determined by FEA in Abaqus
    is illustrated in Figure 4.15.
    Difference curves behaviour with the mesh configuration are very similar. The FEA results
    are very close to the analitical approximated solutions evidenced by the low percent error
    which is almost always bellow 1%, reaching the minimum value of 0.0145% in Irwins solution
    reference curve. For rough meshes, FEA results are very close to the infinite plate solution.
    However, as the mesh was successively refined, FEA results tend to get closer to Irwin and
    Feddersen solutions. After a certain level of mesh refinement, all errors tend to rapidly
    increase until it levels out, Figure 4.16. This allows us to conclude that excessive element
    mesh refinement requires an extra computational time and tends to degrade results.
    Meshing technique validation by the analyses of stress concentration factor for
    square plate with central hole
    In this section, the problem of stress concentration in an infinite plate with a central
    circular hole, Figure 4.17, subjected to an unidirectional traction load (0 ), is considered.
