The influence of two different types of nonlinear strain-displacement kinematics (Green–Lagrange and von Kármán) and their importance are investigated in this analysis by computing the static deflection and stress (normal and shear) values of cutout abided composite structures. The structural deformation behavior under the external loading conditions is derived with a higher-order polynomial without hampering the strain and stress (in-plane and out-of-plane) continuity. The mathematical formulation of the curved structure is derived, and the governing equation order is reduced using nonlinear finite element steps. A generic computer code is prepared using the derived mathematical formulation in conjunction with the isoparametric finite element technique in a MATLAB environment. The final output (that is, the nonlinear deflection and stress data) is predicted using a robust nonlinear solution method (Picard’s iteration). The suitability of full-scale geometrical nonlinearity (Green–Lagrange strain) in the framework of a higher-order displacement field model for the laminated structure is established by comparing the experimental deflection data and published analytical solutions. Furthermore, a series of numerical examples is solved to show the influences of different individual and/or the combined parametric influences on the structural deflections and the normal/shear stress (in-plane and out-of-plane) values, including the variable geometrical shapes.
