Applied alternating method to analyze the stress concentration around interacting multiple circular holes in an infinite domain

This paper presents an e.cient alternating method for analyzing the interactions among multiple circular holes in a two!dimensional in_nite domain[ An analytical solution is derived for a single circular hole in an in_nite domain subjected to the arbitrary tractions across the circle boundary to achieve this purpose[ This analytical solution correlates with a successive iterative superposition process capable of satisfying the prescribed boundary condition for each circular hole of the problem[ In addition\ several perforated plate problems are solved to demonstrate the proposed method|s validity[ The computed results and the available referenced solutions closely corresponds to each other and indicates the method|s accuracy and e.ciency[
