Abstract
This paper deals with a nonlinear finite element formulation
for studying the postbuckling behaviour of laminated plates
induced by a uniform or nonuniform temperature field. The
thermal stress analysis is carried out for the nonuniformly
distributed temperature loading over the plate before solving
the buckling problem. The nonlinearity due to moderately
large deformation of the plate is included in the formulation.
An element based on Co continuity developed recently is
used to investigate the postbuckling/secondary instability
behaviour of the laminates. Some numerical results are
presented for cross-ply and angle-ply laminated composite
plates.
