        abstract = {The effects of square and rectangular cuts on the buckling behavior of a four-ply orthotropic carbon/epoxy symmetrically laminated rectangular composite plate are ascertained using a finite element approach using ANSYS software. Uniaxial compression stress was applied to the square/rectangular cuts under test. This research examines how the buckling behavior of the symmetrically laminated rectangular composite plate under uniaxial compression stress is affected by the square/rectangular cutout's size, orientation, and plate aspect ratio (a/b). For an orthotropic laminate design of [0°/45°/45°/0°], buckling loads were calculated. The findings shown that for plates with a rectangular cutout, the buckling load magnitudes decrease as the cutoff positioned angle and the c/b and d/b ratios increase. As the plate aspect ratio (a/b) increases, the buckling load magnitudes of a rectangular composite plate with square/rectangular cutout decrease. In every simulation, the aspect ratio ranged from 2 to 6. ANSYS software is used to further examine the nature of the buckling load in relation to the t/b ratio and the buckling factors at different t/b ratios, such as 1/20, 1/40, 1/60, and 1/80.},
