Plates are most important structural members finding applications in composite construction. Plates usually provided with holes meant of structural connections, service ducts, and ventilation services. The impact of holes in thin plates induces higher stress concentration and stress distribution parameters around the holes. This paper aims to analyze the impact of holes on thin plate subjected to uniform tensile load at its ends and its stress concentration factor. The parameters involved for the studies are number and the shape of the holes. The comparative study is made with analytical and numerical investigation on the plates with different d/D ratios. The variations in stress concentration factor for different d/D ratios are determined based on finite element analysis using ANSYS.
