Abstract

The present work deals with the buckling and post-buckling behaviour of bimodular laminated composite plates. The fiber-governed bimodular constitutive model is adopted for the analysis and the geometrical nonlinearities are accounted for by using the consistent small strain and moderate rotation theory for a shear deformable Mindlin plate. Governing equations of the problem are developed and the finite element formulation is given using lagrangian C°-elements. Some numerical examples are developed to analyze the buckling and post-buckling behaviour of laminated bimodular plates.
