Buckling and Post-Buckling Analysis of Restrained Composite Laminated Plates
Publication: Earth and Space 2016: Engineering for Extreme Environments
ABSTRACT
Based on the Galerkin method, a semi-analytical solution for the buckling and post-buckling of composite laminated plates with all four edges elastically-restrained against rotation is presented. The considered laminated plates are symmetric, and they are loaded in pure in-plane shear or combined in-plane shear and compression. The deformation shape function of the restrained plates is obtained through a linear combination of vibration eigenfunctions of simply supported and clamped beams along either the longitudinal or transverse direction of plates. The validity study shows that the presented method is effective for performing the buckling and nonlinear post-buckling analysis of laminates with all four edges elastically-restrained against rotation.
