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.

Combined shear and tension (CST) tests are important experimental methods for characterizing yield surfaces for metal sheets, which is vital to ensure the effectiveness of the constitutive models employed in finite element simulation. However, the existing CST experimental method with a reduced thickness specimen, designed for advanced high strength steel sheets, is not suitable for accurately characterizing yield surfaces for lightweight alloy sheets, such as aluminum alloy sheets. In this paper, an improved experimental method employing CST loading along with an appropriate full-thickness specimen is proposed to address the problem. To establish the proposed experimental method, an appropriate full-thickness specimen is presented through finite element method and combined with a newly developed biaxial testing machine. To verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the improved experimental method, virtual simulations and real experiments on the proposed full-thickness specimen obtained from 6K21-T4 aluminum sheets under different CST loading cases are conducted. Research results show that the yield surfaces of the aluminum alloy sheets between simple shear and plane strain (SSPS) can be described accurately by employing the improved experimental method. In addition, according to the experimental results, the prediction capability of the Yld2000 and Hill48 yield criteria is studied. It is found that the commonly used Yld2000 yield criterion cannot accurately predict the yield behavior of the aluminum alloy sheets under shear-dominant loading.
