In this paper, the solution of a semi-infinite plane with one circular hole is presented. This
solution is induced by repeatedly superposing the solution of an infinite plane with one circular hole and that
of a semi-infinite plane without holes to cancel out the stresses arising on both boundaries. This procedure is
carried out until the stresses arising on both boundaries converge. This method does not require complicated
calculation procedures as does the method using stress functions defined in a bipolar coordinate system. Some
numerical results are shown by graphical representations.
