Dear researchers,

I am currently researching the issue of fracture in thin steel plates containing holes. Some scholars have already conducted static tensile fracture tests on plates with holes [1], and the test model is shown in the attachment. I have derived the stress distribution field under static tensile conditions. However, in my practical applications, the specimen is subjected to high loading rates, where the tensile force approximates an impulse force. Therefore, the static results can only serve as a reference. I would like to further investigate the fracture mechanisms in the transient tensile behavior of the steel plate, including the influence of the distribution of cracks near the hole and hole geometry on the results. It would be ideal to obtain theoretical solutions. Could you provide me with some suggestions or references regarding the research direction? Thank you for your attention.
