Abstract The paper presents stress analysis in a circular axially symmetrical plated perforated plate comprising two layers, i.e. the base layer in the form of S355J2 steel and the applied layer in the form of titanium, freely supported and loaded normally to its surface. Calculations were carried out according to analytical relations and using finite element method in ANSYS program. The tested plate with a diameter of D = 300 mm had holes on five circles. On the first outer circle the plate had holes d1 = 20.5 mm in diameter, whereas on the inner circle the plate had holes d5 = 9.5 mm in diameter. Experimental research was also carried out, and the results were used to verify the results obtained by the finite element method using the ANSYS program and derived by the analytical method.
