Its interesting you stat...First time reader here. <br /><br />Its interesting you state that that the hole will decrease strength by half but in what mode of loading? Was this stated in literature somewhere or you have this knowledge from experience? <br /><br />Is it any different from the behavior of metals? For example, the stress concentration of a .125" transverse hole in a 1" OD .5" ID tube for bending is about 3.11, so factor of safety decreases approx. 33%.Ron Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394865788996482667noreply@blogger.com
