✦ Synopsis

The author in this paper investigates the analytical stress field in the neighborhood of the intersection of a hole and a free boundary. Utilizing the form of a general 3D solution, which was constructed in a previous paper, he recovers the explicit displacement and stress fields in this neighborhood. Moreover, the analysis shows the complementary solution to be proportional to Q~-2, where c~ is independent of the Poisson's ratio v. Interestingly enough the first root is exactly that obtained by the William's solution for a 90 deg comer with free-free of stress boundaries.
