This paper discussed a nonlinear compressive behavior of CFRP laminated plates with a hole under an uniaxial compression. Experimental results were obtained from the compressive response of CFRP laminates with a hole and three laminated plates including two kinds of hole diameter were choosed as a specimen. In the analysis, the nonlinear behaviors of CFRP laminated plates with a hole were excuted by an increament displacement method in FEM. Both experimental and analytical results for the buckilng load and nonlinear behaviors after buckling were compared with each other and a good agreement was obtained. In addition to these, a failure prediction by using maximum stress criterion was also discussed.
