        abstract = {In composite buildings, cutouts are common. These are used into building materials to facilitate air circulation and, on occasion, to reduce weight. Cutouts are essential in airplane parts (e.g., ribs, fuselage, and wings) for inspection, access, electric and fuel lines, or to lower the aircraft's total weight. The buckling behavior of rectangular plates formed of polymer matrix composites (PMC) is discussed in this work in relation to the impacts of a cutout. The focus here is on how rectangular symmetric cross-ply laminates act. We model the unloaded edges in clamped and simply supported boundary conditions so that we may analyze the influence of the loaded ones. Additionally, the impact of cuts on the buckling behavior of these plates may be foreseen using finite element analysis. The article delves into several important discoveries and traits of behavior. Among these discoveries are the consequences of various cutout dimensions, shapes, aspect ratios, and boundary constraints. One major takeaway from these investigations is that buckling loads for cutout plates are greater than those for identical plates without cuts.},
