Abstract
Uncertainties in system properties are inherent in all engineering materials. This paper presents the second-order statistics of thermal buckling response of shear deformable laminated composite plate resting on elastic foundation with random system properties under nonuniform tent-like temperature distribution. The mathematical model based on higher-order shear deformation theory [HSDT] is presented. A C0 finite element method in conjunction with first-order perturbation technique is employed to derive the second-order statistics (mean and the standard deviation) of the thermal buckling temperature under nonuniform tent-like temperature distribution. Numerical results have been compared with available results in literatures and independent Monte Carlo simulation.
