Abstract
In the current paper, a novel semi-energy FSM is developed based on the concept of first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) in order to attempt the post-buckling solution for thin and relatively thick anti-symmetric angle-ply composite laminates subjected to uniform end-shortening. The laminated plates are assumed to be simply supported at their boundaries. The results are discussed in detail and compared with those obtained from finite element method (FEM) of analysis. The study of the results has provided confidence in the validity and capability of the developed FSM in handling the post buckling problem of anti-symmetric angle-ply laminates.
