In a previous paper a general solution was given for problems of stress distributions in a plate containing circular holes of varying sizes arranged in any manner. This work was a generalization of special methods used by various writers for particular arrangements of holes. The types of stress distributions were, however, confined to those which produce zero force resultants on each hole and the solutions were therefore independent of the elastic constants. Bickley has studied distributions of stress round one circular hole in an infinite plate when the force resultants on the hole are no longer zero, and a few other problems of this type have been dealt with by other writers.
