Abstract

Advanced fiber-reinforced laminated composite materials have been used for structural members in various fields, because of their high specific strength and stiffness. In the present paper, the thermal buckling problems of carbon fiber / epoxy (CFRP) cross-ply laminated cylindrical shells are considered. Buckling analysis is performed by assuming the buckling deformation that satisfy the boundary conditions and the equilibrium equation based on the Flugge-type expressions. The effects due to various factors such as lamination constitution, stacking sequence, number of layers and dimension of cylinders on the buckling temperature are clarified analytically.
