    The localized stress around a hole is usually obtained by multiplying the nominal stress by a factor called a stress concentration factor. The below assignment brief is limited to small holes in plates that is, holes which are relatively small in comparison to the plate size. The elastic modulus is E = 210 GPa, Poisson's ratio is 0. And the yield stress is 250 MPa.
