It is assumed that all the six sides of the hexagon are subjected to uniform normal displacements via smooth rigid stamps, while the uniformly distributed normal stress is applied to the internal hole boundary. Using the methods of complex analysis, the analytical image of Kolosov-Muskhelishvili＇s complex potentials and the shape of the hole contour are determined from the condition that the circumferential normal stress is constant along the hole contour. Numerical results are given and shown in relevant graphs.展开更多
