Abstract

An approximate solution in the form of a polynomial is presented for the normal stress distribution adjacent to a class of optimum holes in symmetrically laminated infinite composite plates under uniaxial loading. Comparison of the present approximate solution with that of the finite element method shows good agreement. The approximate solution is useful in assessing the strength of the laminated composite plates with holes. The present simple solution will be of immense use to design engineers who are interested in obtaining quick and reliable solutions for circular and optimized holes in symmetrically laminated composite plates.
