Drilling induced damage in fiber reinforced plastic laminates results in high rate of parts rejection and also affects the in-service performance of the composite products with drilled holes. The tensile testing of composite laminates with drilled holes is necessary to render them satisfactory for application. The present research endeavor is an attempt to develop a generic finite element model in...
