Abstract

The present paper reports behavior of rectangular laminated composite plates with central circular hole and without hole under transverse loading. The plates used in the present study are laminated composite plates of epoxy resin reinforced with E-glass fiber. The laminates of symmetric and antisymmetric have been used in the study. Parameter used for the analysis is hole diameter to width of the plate ratio (D/H). The ratio used for the study varies from 0.1 to 0.5 with an increment of 0.1. The thickness of the composite plate is kept equal in all loading cases. Stresses and deflections in the plate are considered using boundary conditions of clamped edges. The results were discussed critically on the basis of variation of D/H versus stresses and D/H versus deflection.
