The strength of an open-holed composite plate subjected to tensile loading is analysed with the help of a coupled strength-and-energy criterion. Analytical and numerical models are used to determine the stress distribution from and energy released by crack nucleation in the vicinity of the hole. It is shown that the hole size effect can be described, ...
