A new class of such problems is studied: that of stresses in a half space penetrated by a circular cylindrical hole with axis normal to the bounding plane. It is demonstrated by solution of an example that this class of problems may be solved using a large, high-speed computing machine. A problem related to stresses around an oil well is also studied.application/pdfengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
