Anisotropy of the effective elastic modulus of a steel plate with a lattice of circular holes

摘要

Abstract Plates with a doubly periodic commensurate lattice of circular holes are studied. The plates are cut from a corrosion-resistant steel sheet along and across the rolling direction. Uniaxial tensile tests are performed, and the effective elastic modulus is determined for longitudinal and transverse plates with various lattice orientations with respect to the longitudinal axis of a plate. The experimental and calculated results agree well.
