Application of Weibull statistics to tensile strength prediction in laminated composites with open holes is revisited. Quasi-isotropic carbon fiber laminates with two stacking sequences [45/0/-45/90]s and [0/45/90/-45]s with three different hole sizes of 2.54mm, 6.35mm and 12.7mm were considered for analysis and experimental examination. The first laminate showed 20% lower strength for smaller ...
