The paper presents an approximate solution for the stress distribution around two cylindrical holes intersecting at right angles in an infinite homogeneous, isotropic, elastic body, when the body is subjected to uniform tension at an infinite distance from the holes. Stress concentration factors for a range of ratios of the hole radii are presented, both for the case when the two holes are infinitely long and for when the smaller hole is semi-infinite.
