Abstract
A post-buckling analysis of composite laminated plates subjected to combined axial compression and uniform temperature loading is presented. The two cases of thermal post-buckling of initially compressed plates and of compression post-buckling of initially heated plates are considered. The initial geometrical imperfection of the plates is taken into account. The analysis uses a perturbation technique to determine buckling loads and post-buckling equilibrium paths. Numerical examples are presented that relate to the performances of perfect and imperfect, antisymmetrically angle-ply and symmetrically cross-ply laminated plates. Typical results are presented in dimensionless graphical form.
