Using a two dimensional photoelastic technique, hole shapes have been optimised in diametrically loaded circular discs with two neighbouring holes leading to minimum stress concentration factor (s.c.f.). Two neighbouring holes symmetrically located side by side with the load axis perpendicular to the line joining the centres of the holes are considered. Results are given for a range of disc diameter/hole diameter ratios (11.44≥D/d≥4.16). Optimised quasi‐trapezoidal hole geometries, stress distributions around these holes and the effect of tilting the load direction are presented. In comparison with circular holes, the s.c.fs. have been reduced up to about 14% with quasi‐trapezoidal holes at regions of peak stresses and up to 23% at peak tensile stress regions.
