In this study, when manufacturing a rectangular plate with a pinhole, the following conclusions were obtained as a result of analyzing the shape characteristics of the unit cell that fills the interior of the plate and the effect of changes in the size of the pinhole on the stress concentration coefficient. 1. The stress value generated in the case of the completely empty model was 13.9 MPa, which is an 18.8% increase in stress compared to the stress value 11.7 MPa generated in the fully filled model. However, since the weight of the empty model is 43.6% lower than that of the filled model, it is believed to be very advantageous in terms of cost. 2. The stress concentration coefficient value is lowest for the solid model and highest for the hollow model at the same d/H value. In other words, you can see that the values are changing within the boxes of the solid model and hollow model. However, the grid matching model is closest to the solid model and the filling rate is as low as 33.4-9.1%, showing the most stable strength when filling empty space.
When steel members are corroded, both static and dynamic load carrying capacities are damaged. Static load carrying capacity is easily evaluated because it is only effected by the minimum cross sectional area. However, dynamic load carrying capacity is not easily evaluated because it is effected by distribution of stress and the distribution of stress is not easy to measure. To prevent fracture, it is important to investigate highly stressed region when corrosion occur. In this study, a simple evaluation method for stress concentration factor directly from corroded surface to simply evaluate dynamic load carrying capacity.
