Drilling is one of the most commonly used process for hole making. Drilling of polymer matrix composites (PMCs) causes substantial damage around the drilled hole. Drilling-induced damage not only decreases the strength of the composite laminate with hole, but it also deteriorates the long-term performance of the PMC laminates under different loading conditions. In the present research investigation, the flexural behaviour of the glass fibre-reinforced plastic laminates with drilled hole was experimentally investigated under three-point loading conditions. The results of the experimental investigation were compared with those of the finite element model and were found to be in close agreement.
