Abstract
Computer algebra systems have been already applied to several applied mechanics and plane elasticity problems. In this paper, we show the possibility of using DERIVE, a simple, but also powerful and modern computer algebra system, for the determination of the conformal mapping function in plane elasticity problems associated with holes (including triangles and squares). We display the obtained results in sufficient detail for the equilateral triangle and the square holes and we make several comments concerning the efficient use of DERIVE in the present application, where computer algebra systems seem not having been used up to now.
