When patching a plywood skin, what shape of patches should be used to avoid dangerous stress concentration?

Square or rectangular
Circular or elliptical
Triangular
Hexagonal

The correct answer is: Circular or elliptical

When patching a plywood skin, circular or elliptical patches should be used to avoid dangerous stress concentration. These shapes distribute stress more evenly across the surface compared to square, rectangular, triangular, or hexagonal patches. Circular or elliptical patches help to minimize the risk of creating stress points that could lead to further damage or failure in the plywood skin.
