Consider the classic example of a small circular hole in a rectangular plate of constant thickness with a symmetric loadingsubjected to an in-plane tensile load. The material is structural steel with a Young's Modulus of 29E6 psi and a Poisson ratio of 0.3. The geometric dimensions and applied tensile are shown below.

In this exercise, you are presented with the numerical solution to the above problem obtained from finite-element analysis (FEA) using ANSYS software. Compare FEA results for the stress distribution presented to you with the corresponding analytical solution for an infinite plate ( there is no analytical solution for a finite plate). Justify agreements and discrepancies between the two approaches (FEA vs. Analytical).
