Abstract
Thermal post-buckling analysis of smart sandwich plates has been presented with the incorporation of shape memory alloy (SMA) and shape memory polymer (SMP) in laminated composite structure under uniform temperature distribution. Buckling analysis is based on higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) with von Karman nonlinearity by finite element method (FEM). Evaluation of critical buckling temperature has been performed under the action of inplane uniform temperature distribution for different boundary conditions, plate’s aspect and thickness ratio, modulus ratio, ply orientations of smart SMA hybrid sandwich composite plate. Shape memory alloys itself acting uniquely under temperature variation and with SMA reinforced SMP laminated composite plate this phenomenon extended further under dynamic temperature condition for thermal buckling behavior. Also SMA with different strain rate and variation in SMA volume fraction is also presented to understand the cumulative buckling behavior.
