In the present study, an investigation on the effects of flexural boundary conditions on prebuckling and postbuckling responses, failure loads and characteristics of a quasi-isotropic [i.e., (+45/−45/0/90)2s] square laminate ...

The objective of this paper is to study stability and failure of a composite laminate with a centrally placed cutout of various shapes (i.e., circular, square, diamond, elliptical-vertical and elliptical-horizontal) under ...
