A general theoretical solution is obtained for certain stress distributions in isotropic and aeolotropic plates containing holes of various types. The solution includes as special cases some well-known results for isotropic materials, and it is used here to obtain new results for both isotropic and aeolotropic plates. Numerical results are given for the distribution of stress round the edges of an elliptical hole in a spruce plank under tension, a square hole with rounded corners in an isotropic tension member and in an isotropic plate under shear, and a triangular hole with rounded comers in an isotropic tension member.
