Abstract
In the present paper Muskhelishvili's complex variable method of solving two-dimensional elasticity problems has been applied to derive exact expressions for Gaursat's functions for the first and second fundamental problems of the infinite plate weakened by a hole having many poles and arbitrary shape which is conformally mapped on the domain outside a unit circle by means of general rational mapping function. Some applications are investigated. The interesting cases when the shape of the hole takes different shapes are included as special cases.
