Recently there has been much interest in adaptive structures that can respond to a varying environment by changing their properties. Shape memory alloys and piezoelectric materials can be used as induced strain actuators to reduce stresses in the regions of stress concentration. The objective of our work was to find the maximum possible reduction in the stress concentration factor in anisotropic plate with a hole by applying induced strains in a small area near the hole.
