What happens here

In contrast to polygons, the creator shows that with a circular shape, stress is distributed evenly around the entire circumference. He sprays a red circle around the circular cutout to illustrate this uniform distribution of force, indicating superior structural strength.

Goal: Demonstrate the uniform stress distribution in circular designs.
