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.
 
I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...
Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
