Abstract
Thermal buckling and postbuckling behavior of shear deformable laminated composite plates is investigated by employing a four-node rectangular C(sup 1) continuous finite element. The investigation reveals that the postbuckling path may not remain stable throughout. It is shown that secondary instabilities coupled with changes in the spatial deformation do take place from the postbuckling path. 15 refs.
