Numerical simulation of failure prediction on composite laminates with various cutout shapes under uniaxial tension and compression / Nurdalilah Noordin

In the era of modern structures, composite laminates are widely used and have become progressively trending due to its tailorable of material properties. Nevertheless, due to the complex fibre-matrix interaction added by the existing cutouts, it is complicated to figure out the failure mechanism and...
