An overview of mechanical properties and failure mechanism of <scp>FRP</scp> laminates with hole/cutout

Aerospace and aircraft companies follow a pyramidal structure of testing, ranging from specimen tests to full-scale tests, for structural design. At the base level, open hole strength evaluation is one qualification procedures composite components. The holes are made in components accommodate bolts rivets order assemble parts into single unit. Holes component also used fulfill functional requirements, such as passage wire bundles. FRP sensitive these holes/cutouts substantial decrement observed several experiments. degradation due stress concentration around hole. This review aims comprehend effect on mechanical properties laminates; emphasis mainly CFRP laminates experimental results. An overview tensile, compressive, flexural post buckling with presented aid optimal design component. Finally, failure mechanism during loading discussed described through graphical presentation.
