An Approach for Stability Analysis of Gas/Fluid-Filled Cylindrical Hole in Laminated Materials

Figure 3

Schematic illustrates the hole coordinate system (HCS), in which the z-axis is along the hole axis direction and the y-axis is parallel to the material isotropic plane that is represented by the gray lines. is the normal to the material isotropic plane (i.e., the material symmetry axis direction). is the angle between and the x-axis.
