The objective of this book is to present a complete and up to date treatment of uniform cross-section rectangular laminated plates on buckling. Finite element (FEM) method is used for solving governing equations of thin laminated composite plates and their solution using classical laminated plate theory (CLPT). Plates are common structural elements of most engineering structures, including aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering structures, and their study from theoretical and experimental analyses points of view are fundamental to the understanding of the behavior of such structures.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This book presents a finite element method (FEM) analysis of thin rectangular laminated composite plates subjected to biaxial in-plane compressive loading. The analysis uses the classical laminated plate theory (CLPT), which does not consider shear deformation. The book examines the influence of various factors, such as lamination scheme, aspect ratio, material anisotropy, fiber orientation, and boundary conditions, on the buckling behavior of thin laminates.
- Buckling analysis of thin laminated composite plates
- Application of the finite element method (FEM)
- Influence of lamination scheme and material properties on buckling behavior
- Effects of aspect ratio, fiber orientation, and boundary conditions
- Comparison with theoretical and experimental solutions
