Abstract

Based on the conformal mapping, this paper provides a closed form solution for the degenerate scale of the hypocycloid hole in plane elasticity. In the derivation, we assume the vanishing displacements along the boundary in the degenerate scale problem. Some functions in the boundary condition are decomposed into three parts with particular behavior. Even the displacements are vanishing along the boundary of an exterior region, the displacements and stresses are not equal to zero in the exterior region. This is a particular feature in the degenerate scale problem.
