A finite element model of a problem gives a piecewise approximation to the governing equations. The basic premise of the finite element method in that a solution region can be analytically modeled or approximated by replacing it with an assemblage of discrete elements.
In this paper, to analyze the stress diffusion of the cantilevered plate subjected to concentrated load and the stress concentration of the plate with a circular hole in its center, the governing equation is derived by energy method.
The two dimensional finite elements of the triangular element and the rectangular element with two degrees of freedom at each node are used for this problem and are defined by speci-fying geometry, internal displacement functions, strain-displace ment relations and stress displacement relations.
To analyze the stress diffusion of the cantilevered plate the rectangular element is used and this element has the comp-atibilities of the displacements. To analyze the stress concen-tration of the plate with a circular hole in its center the triangular element is used and this triangular element is suita-ble for the shapes of the irregular boundaries.
The stress diffusion factors of the cantilevered plate sub-jected to concentrated load, and the stress concentration factors of the plate with a circular hole in its center are obtained.
The results are plotted graphically and the parts of these results are compared with Ref.(6), Ref(8) and Ref.(16). They agree good enough to accept the problem of engineerings in this field.
