Formula(s) and Quantities

$\begin{array}{cc}{\sigma }_{rr}(r,\theta )& =\frac{p}{2}(1-\frac{a^2}{r^2})+\frac{p}{2}(1-\frac{a^2}{r^2})(1-\frac{3a^2}{r^2})\cos (2\theta )\\ {\sigma }_{\theta \theta }(r,\theta )& =\frac{p}{2}(1+\frac{a^2}{r^2})-\frac{p}{2}(1+\frac{3a^4}{r^4})\cos (2\theta )\\ {\sigma }_{r\theta }(r,\theta )& =-\frac{p}{2}(1-\frac{a^2}{r^2})(1+\frac{3a^2}{r^2})\sin (2\theta )\end{array}$

$\sigma$ represents stress tensor (analytic solution)

$a$ represents radius of hole in a plate

$p$ represents mechanical load

$r$ represents radial coordinate

$\theta$ represents polar angle

$x$ represents Cartesian coordinate x

$y$ represents Cartesian coordinate y

SymPy

There is support to convert formulae based on dictionaries to Maple and Mathematica.https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-658-40473-4

https://pypi.org/project/latex2sympy2/ can act as starting point to transform from LaTeX to sympy. Translating the formula manually

from latex2sympy2 import latex2sympy

tex = r" \frac{p}{2}\left(1-\frac{a^2}{r^2}\right)+\frac{p}{2}\left(1-\frac{a^2}{r^2}\right)\left(1-\frac{3a^2}{r^2}\right)\cos(2\theta)"
print(latex2sympy(tex))

results in

p*(-a**2/(r**2) + 1)*(-3*a**2/(r**2) + 1)*cos(2*theta)/2 + p*(-a**2/(r**2) + 1)/2
