AI Thread Summary
It is possible to convert tangential stress around a circular hole into x-y coordinates using tensor transformation rules, which are akin to vector transformations. The discussion highlights the need to compare results from an FEM package, which provides sigma xx and sigma yy values, with analytical values derived from Peterson's Stress Concentration Factors. To facilitate this comparison, Mohr's circle can be utilized as a method for visualizing and calculating the stress transformation. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurate stress analysis in engineering applications. The conversation emphasizes the importance of applying established methods to achieve the desired comparisons.

Is it possible to convert the tangential stress around a circular hole into x-y co-ordinates or vice-versa? and if so, how?

basically, i have results in sigma xx and sigma yy for certain points along the circumference from an FEM package, which need to be compared with analytical values. the analytical values, calculated using the formula found in Peterson's Stress Concentration Factors, give the tangential stress. how can i compare these.

any help appreciated... thanks in advance

remember that a stress is a tensor,
but of course any tensor can be converted to another system of coordinate,
by the tensor transformation rules which are very similar to those for a vector

thanks for that, but how does one go about doing this for this case?
 
Look up Mohr's circle, in any strength of materials textbook.
 
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
