The general solution for the stress problem of circular cylindrical shells with an arbitrary cutout

In this paper a complex variable analytic method for solving stress concentrationsin the circular cylindrical shell is proposed. The problem to be solved can besummarized into the solution of an infinite algebraic equation series. The solution canbe normal and effective by means of this method. Nunerical results for stressconcentrations in the shell with a circular, elliplic cutout are graphically presented.
