Abstract
The thermal buckling analysis of antisymmetric angle-ply laminated cylindrical shells that are simply supported and subjected to a uniform temperature rise is analyzed by a finite element method based on the higher order displacement functions. Comparisons to the first order displacement theory are made. Both theories allow transverse shear deformation, but only the higher order one takes into account the transverse normal strain. The numerical results show that first order theory overestimates the thermal buckling temperature of the shell panel, which suggests that the higher order displacement fields should be used in the analysis of thermal buckling for a laminated shell. Effects of important parameters are also studied.
