Elastic Stability of Perforated Plates Strengthened with FRP under Uniaxial Compression

Openings are frequently introduced in plates for the purpose of inspection, maintenance, service, etc. The presence of openings reduces the buckling and ultimate capacity significantly, and pasting fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) is an ideal technique for postponing the buckling and increasing the u...
