Comment on “Explicit solutions in Cartesian coordinates for an elliptic hole in an infinite elastic plate” by M. Oore and S. Oore

Abstract

This comment discusses the derivation procedure of stress distribution formulas for an infinite elastic plate with an elliptic hole under uniform tension, as presented by M. Oore and S. Oore. While the authors use a heuristic three-step procedure, it is shown that these derivations can be simplified using Maple 2023 or manually. This confirms the exactness of the authors’ formulas, asserting their role as definitive closed-form solutions.
