*Stress tensor components around 5-holes with equal radii (r = 0.1) in an elastic plate subjected to far-field stress. These solutions are obtained from the relations between the strain tensor components and the stress tensor components shown in Eqs. (32)–(34). Since σzz* ¼ 0 *for plane stress solution there is no delta in the z*�*direction.*
