O. Barton et R. Reiss, BUCKLING OF RECTANGULAR SYMMETRICAL ANGLE-PLY LAMINATED PLATES DETERMINED BY EIGENSENSITIVITY ANALYSIS, AIAA journal, 33(12), 1995, pp. 2406-2413
Closed-form approximate solutions for uniaxial and biaxial compressive
buckling of rectangular symmetric angle-ply laminates are developed f
rom eigensensitivity analysis. Boundary conditions, which consist of t
he various combinations of clamped and simply supported edges, are inc
orporated through appropriate edge condition parameters. Calculated re
sults, presented for elastic moduli ratios up to 40, compare quite fav
orably with the corresponding buckling loads obtained from the Ritz me
thod.
