Important Progress

This article has for objective to analyze the buckling behavior of the unidirectional laminated plates. In this purpose, we propose an analytically method, based on the theory of classical, orthotropic plate theory. The governing equations are solved using Navier solution for uniform uniaxial loading in longitudinal direction. We were interested to identify the critical buckling load for simply supported antisymmetric cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply laminates of rectangular shape. Some important progress has been made on these relatively complicated buckling problems, involving coupling between bending and midplane stretching during a buckling deformation. Effects of different parameters such as fiber orientation angles, aspect ratio, modular ratio and number of layers were examined. Results are presented in the form of plots showing the variation in non-dimensional buckling load.

Sudden Jump

Free vibration behavior of buckled composite plates are studied by using a high precision triangular plate element. This element is developed based on a simplified high order plate theory and von Ka´rma´n large deformation assumptions. The nonlinear governing equations of motion for the plates is linearized into two sets of equations by assuming small amplitude vibration of the laminates about its buckled static equilibrium profile. Results show that, in the postbuckling regime, the fundamental mode may be shifted from the first mode to the second due to squeezing effect of the in-plane force on the plate. For plate with certain boundary conditions, the natural frequency may have a sudden jump due to buckle pattern change of the plate in the postbuckling regime.

Uniform Temperature Field

In this study, the thermal buckling behavior of composite laminate plates cross-ply and angle-ply all edged simply supported subjected to a uniform temperature field is investigated, using a simple trigonometric shear deformation theory. Four unknown variables are involved in the theory, and satisfied the zero traction boundary condition on the surface without using shear correction factors, Hamilton's principle is used to derive equations of  motion depending on a Simple Four Variable Plate Theory for cross-ply and angle-ply, and then solved through Navier's double trigonometric sequence, to obtain critical buckling temperature for laminated composite plates. Effect of changing some design parameters such as, orthotropy ratio (E1/E2), aspect ratio (a/b),  thickness ratio (a/h), thermal expansion coefficient ratio (α2/α1), are investigated, which have the same behavior and good agreement when compared with previously published results with maximum discrepancy (0.5%).

Classical Plate Theory

Further development of the novel meshfree Galerkin Kriging method for bending and buckling analysis of laminated composite plates is the main objective of the present work. The present formulation follows the classical plate theory while the discrete equations are derived from the standard Galerkin weak form. The moving Kriging interpolation technique is used for constructing shape functions, which possess the delta property and thus no special techniques are required for imposing the essential boundary conditions. Various numerical examples with different geometries of plates for both bending and buckling analysis are solved to demonstrate the applicability and the effectiveness of the present approach. The calculated results are compared with reference solutions available in the literature and very good agreements are obtained. It obviously illustrates that the proposed method can be considered as an alternative numerical approach for buckling and bending of laminated plates.

The aim of this study is to investigate, experimentally and numerically, the change of critical buckling load in composite plates with different ply numbers, orientation angles, stacking sequences and boundary conditions as a function of temperature. Buckling specimens have been removed from the composite plate with glass-fibre reinforcement at [0°]i and [45°]i (i= number of ply). First, the mechanical properties of the composite material were determined at different temperatures, and after that, buckling experiments were done for those temperatures. Then, numerical solutions were obtained by modelling the specimens used in the experiment in the Ansys10 finite elements package software. The experimental and numerical results are in very good agreement with each other. It was found that the values of the buckling load at [0°] on the composite plates are higher than those of other angles. Besides, symmetrical and anti-symmetrical conditions were examined to see the effect of the stacking sequence on buckling and only numerical solutions were obtained. It is seen that the buckling load reaches the highest value when it is symmetrical in the cross-ply stacking sequence and it is anti-symmetrical in the angle-ply stacking sequence.

The aim of this paper is to find out the randomness in the material properties on the buckling of laminated composite plate needed for the economy, safety and reliability of the structures and components in their operational life especially for sensitive Aerospace Engineering applications in hygrothermal environments. Micromechanical model has been taken for the analysis .The used methodology is a C0 finite element method based on higher-order shear deformation plate theory for deriving the standard eigenvalue problem. A Taylor series based mean-centered first order perturbation technique is used to find out the second order statistics of the hygrothermal buckling loads under different sets of environmental conditions..The numerical results for deterministic parameters are compared and validated with available literature and random parameters with independent Monte Carlo Simulation. The result shows that the plate is significantly affected by the hygrothermal buckling load.

This paper proposes an optimization procedure for maximization of the biaxial buckling load of laminated composite plates using the gradient-based interior-point optimization algorithm. The fiber orientation angle and the thickness of each lamina are considered as continuous design variables of the problem. The effect of the number of layers, fiber orientation angles, thickness and length to thickness ratios on the buckling load of the laminated composite plates under biaxial compression is investigated. The effectiveness of the optimization procedure in this study is compared with previous works.

In this study, a buckling analysis is performed on rectangular composite plates with single and double circular notch using the finite element method. Laminated plates of carbon/bismaleimde (IM7/5250-4) are ordered symmetrically as follows [(θ/-θ)2]S. The buckling strength of symmetric laminated plates subjected to uniaxial compression is highlighted as a function of the fibers orientations. The results show that whatever the notch radius, the buckling load is almost stable. Increasing the degree of anisotropy significantly improves critical buckling load.

Wave Velocities

Signals propagate on plate-like structures as ultrasonic guided waves, and analysis of Lamb waves has been widely used for on-line monitoring. In this study, the wave velocities of symmetric and anti-symmetric modes in various directions of propagation were investigated. Since the wave velocities of these two modes are different, it is possible to compute the difference in their arrival times when these waves propagated the distance from the vibration source to sensor. This paper presents an evaluation formulation of wave velocity and describes a generalized algorithm for locating a vibration source on a thin, laminated plate. With the different velocities of two modes based on Lamb wave dispersion, the method uses two sensors to locate the source on a semi-infinite interval of a plate. The experimental procedure supporting this method employs pencil lead breaks to simulate vibration sources on quasi-isotropic and unidirectional laminated plates. The transient signals generated in this way are transformed using a wavelet transform. The vibration source locations are then detected by utilizing the distinct wave velocities and arrival times of the symmetric and anti-symmetric wave modes. The method is an effective technique for identifying impact locations on plate-like structures.
