Abstract

Thermal buckling of thick, moderately thick and thin cross-ply and angle-ply laminated composite beams subjected to uniform temperature distribution are analyzed. The effects of length to thickness ratio and modulus ratio, various boundary conditions are used and numbers of layers on the critical buckling temperature are investigated. The finite element formulation is based on the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The finite element analysis has been carried out for a composite beam using an eight nodded quadrilateral element. Numerical analysis has been carried out by developing APDL code in analysis software ANSYS and various results are obtained. The results are compared with those available in the literature. The present paper discusses the effect of number of layers, stacking sequence and boundary conditions on the buckling behavior of laminated composite beam with different ply orientations.
