Abstract

Abstract A radial basis function (RBF) based meshfree approach has been used for the buckling analysis of symmetric and antisymmetric laminated plates. Two higher order shear deformation theories have been considered in displacement field. The governing differential equations (GDEs) of plates are obtained using energy approach. The convergence and validation study of present theories and solution methodology make it acceptable for further analysis. Effect of lamination scheme, number of layers, span to thickness ratio is considered. Some new results have been given for eight-layer laminates.
