A plate with an elliptical hole in the centre, with semi-major axis (a) perpendicular to the direction of loading and semi-minor axis (b) along the direction of loading, is subjected to a pull P. The maximum stress induced at the edge of the hole is equal to (where $$\sigma $$ = Stress for a plate with no hole i.e. nominal stress)

A plate with an elliptical hole in the centre, with semi-major axis (a) perpendicular to the direction of loading and semi-minor axis (b) along the direction of loading, is subjected to a pull P. The maximum stress induced at the edge of the hole is equal to (where $$\sigma $$ = Stress for a plate with no hole i.e. nominal stress) Correct Answer $$\sigma \left( {1 + \frac{{2{\text{a}}}}{{\text{b}}}} \right)$$
