Stress concentration around a central hole as affected by material nonlinearity in fibrous composite laminated plates subject to in-plane loading

The distribution of stresses in laminated composite plates with a central circular hole and having various stacking sequences, different geometric dimensions and subjected to in-plane axial tensile loading was investigated. The ANSYS computer program was utilized using the finite element method to s...
