Stress flows like water in a river.....
Cut a hole in the beam and it will flow aroud the hole..... Reduce the flow area with a hole and it will concentrate the stress in the material that is left...... Can we say failure/fold point??? VW used to drill holes along the side of the underside hood reinforcement (Rabbit) to force it to fold like an accordian duriing impact. Can we say energy absorption as it folds durign a crash???? |
