This paper presents an analytical solution for an orthotropic semi-infinite plane with an arbitrary-shaped hole, considering the condition of a uniform stress applied at the hole boundary. First, the shapes of holes on the [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-planes are determined based on the shape of the hole on the z-plane. Next, the regions outside the holes on these physical planes are mapped to the rings on the [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-planes, respectively. Therefore, the boundary conditions with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as independent variables are established. Then, the boundary collocation method is used to solve the stress boundary conditions along the upper boundary and the hole boundary, thereby obtaining two analytical functions for calculating the stress and displacement of the structure. Finally, the correctness of the proposed method is verified by conducting boundary condition checks and comparing the stress and displacement results obtained by the proposed method with those obtained from ANSYS, and further investigates the influence of anisotropic parameters on normal stress and displacement.","PeriodicalId":502792,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids","volume":"40 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139798497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The moving least squares (MLS) approximation is resorted to bridge the fully atomic discrete structures of defective DWCNTs and the corresponding virtual continuum solids. The intrinsic mechanic laws implied in nanostructures can be accurately mapped into the mechanical governing equations of the continuum models. Based on ACC method, a numerical computational scheme is developed for predicting the buckling and contact behaviors of defective DWCNTs, which do not need any numerical integration method to calculate potential functional and its derivatives. The numerical tests show that this method can furnish good predictions even with a small number of nodes. It is found that Stone–Wales (SW) defects can lead to greatly decrease in the buckling properties of DWCNTs. In contrary, the complex interlayer van der Waals (vdW) interactions can enhance the buckling resistance of DWCNTs.","PeriodicalId":502792,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids","volume":"3 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139800636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
