Analytical and Numerical Study of the Notched Tensile Strength of Open-Hole Composite Laminates Using the Whitney–Nuismer Point and Average Stress Criteria

The growing replacement of metallic alloys by polymer matrix composites in the transport and mobility industries has intensified the need for reliable methods to predict the strength of laminates weakened by fastener holes. As a preliminary step toward the design of composite bolted joints, this work investigates the o...
