Abstract This paper presents the solution of stress distribution around elliptical cutout in an infinite laminated composite plate. Analysis is done for in plane loading under hygrothermal environment. The formulation to obtain stresses around elliptical hole is based on Muskhelishvili’s complex variable method. The effect of fibre angle, type of in plane loading, volume fraction of fibre, change in temperature, fibre materials, stacking sequence and environmental conditions on stress distribution around elliptical hole is presented. The study revealed, these factors have significant effect on stress concentration in hygrothermal environment and stress concentration changes are significant with change in temperature.

Asymptotic Validity

First, based on an approximate analysis, simple closed-form expressions of the stress concentration factor (SCF) for two- or three-dimensional models with a circular hole or a spherical cavity in a finite domain are derived. Then, an asymptotic method is adopted to improve the accuracy of the derived solutions for an extremely large circular hole or spherical cavity, when the remaining ligament approaches zero. Exact limit SCF values for these two kinds of models were given by Koiter; these values are used for the adjustment of the coefficients in the SCF expressions. Finally, simple SCF formulae for these finite domain problems are obtained, their accuracy is demonstrated to be very good by comparison with the available data from the literature, and the asymptotic validity is guaranteed.
