Buckling Behavior of an Orthotropic Composite Laminate using Finite Element Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of fibre orientation on buckling behaviour in a rectangular composite laminate with central circular hole under uniform in-plane loading has been studied by using finite element method. The critical buckling loads with different fibre orientation in an orthotropic composite laminate (E-glass/epoxy) were obtained. The deformation behaviour of the plate is shown for modes, i=1,2. Studies are carried out for three D/A ratio (where D is hole diameter and A is plate width) with different plate thickness (number of layers). The finite element formulation is carried out in the analysis section of the ANSYS software.

Non-linear behaviour of thin-walled open section composite beams in lateral stability
An analytical study along with a numerical investigation is conducted to determine the lateral buckling strength of thin-walled open-section I shape composite beams. Based on Vlasov-type linear hypothesis beam stiffness coefficients, which account for a cross section geometry and material anisotropy of the section, are obtained. In this study the axial and bending coupling terms ( A,, , A,, , D...

Thermal buckling behavior of truncated conical liner reinforced by laminated composite is investigated in the presence of a general initial imperfection. For this purpose, the method of virtual work and first-order strain-deformation shell theory are employed to extract equilibrium equations. To this end, a finite element code is developed using the 3D 8-node shell element with six degrees of f...

This paper presents buckling studies made on skew plates using finite element. The effects of the skew angle, aspect ratio, length-to-thickness-ratio, fibre orientation angle, and numbers of layers in the laminate and laminate sequence on the critical buckling load factor (Kcr) of antisymmetric composite laminates have also been presented. The critical buckling load factor (Kcr) is found to inc...
