This report studies the effects of elliptical defence hole systems on a main hole in a uniaxially loaded plate. This study was accomplished using the BIE2DSRE-A program which uses the Boundary Element Method (BEM), to obtain stress concentrations around the main hole and stress intensity factors (SI...
