Two-dimensional to three-dimensional global/local finite element analysis of laminated composites in compression

A two-dimensional to three-dimensional global/local finite element approach was developed, verified, and applied to a laminated composite plate of finite width and length containing a central circular hole. The resulting stress fields for axial compression loads were examined in detail for several s...
