Stability of Thin Rectangular Laminated Composite Plates

Document from the year 2020 in the subject Engineering - Civil Engineering, grade: 5.0, Nile Valley University, course: structural engineering, language: English, abstract: 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.
