This current paper, which is the first part of two parts of a complete article, presents the theoretical and finite element formulation developed and proposed by the authors to obtain the stress concentration factors (SCFs) and the first ply failure (FPF) loads of composite laminated plates. The numerical studies are performed using a quadrilateral finite element of four nodes with thirty-two degrees of freedom. The present finite element was previously developed by the authors to study the bending and buckling of composite plates. The present finite element is a combination of two finite elements. The first one is a linear isoparametric membrane element, and the second one is a high-precision rectangular Hermitian element. In the second part of the paper, several examples will be considered to demonstrate and affirm the accuracy and the performance of the present element, as well as highlight the effect of some parameters on the stress distribution. The FPF strengths and their locations in laminated plates with and without holes are calculated by adapting the Hashin-Rotem, Tsai-Hill, and Tsai-Wu failure theories.

This paper, the second part of two parts of a complete paper, presents the analytical and numerical results of stresses around circular cutouts in anisotropic and isotropic plates under shear loading. The main aim of this study is to understand the effect of the presence of cutouts on the stress concentration and failure mechanisms in composite laminates. The numerical investigations are performed by means of the quadrilateral finite element of four nodes with thirty-two degrees of freedom. The present finite element is a combination of two finite elements. The first one is a simple linear isoparametric membrane element and the second one is a high-precision rectangular Hermitian element. The analytical and finite element formulations were presented in the first part of the paper. Several new examples are considered to demonstrate and affirm the accuracy and the performance of the present element and to highlight the effect of some parameters on the stress distributions. The numerically obtained results are found to be in good agreement with the analytical findings. On the other hand, first ply failure (FPF) strengths in laminates with and without holes are calculated by adapting the Hashin-Rotem, Tsai-Hill, and Tsai-Wu failure theories. Finally, the numbers of the figures are obtained, using various E1/E2 ratio values, for the maximum positive and negative stresses values located in the vicinity of the cutout versus the angular location of points, and for various fiber orientation angles.

The present paper deals with FEM modelling of Tennyson’s famous experiment: the buckling problem of axially compressed elastic cylindrical shells with small single circular cutouts. It is completed using ANSYS software package in geometrically linear and nonlinear formulations for three different loading schemes. Two of the loading schemes provide an upper and lower bounds for buckling loads. The third loading scheme corresponds to the experiment and gives an excellent agreement of numerical results with the experimental data. The influence of shell thickness on buckling load is studied in addition to common non–dimensional geometrical shell parameter. Decrease of a shell thickness about two times leads to decrease of buckling load parameter about 7 % in the studied range of cutouts. The efficiency of ANSYS software is proved for the buckling design of shells with highly non–homogeneous stress strain state.
