Test Case
A rectangular plate with a circular hole is fixed along one of the
end faces and a tensile pressure load is applied on the opposite
face. A convergence with an allowable change of 10% is applied to
account for the stress concentration near the hole. The Maximum
Refinement Loops is set to 2 and the Refinement mesh control is
added on the cylindrical surfaces of the hole with Refinement =
1.
Find the Maximum Normal Stress in the x direction on the
cylindrical surfaces of the hole
