Abstract
The buckling resistance of symmetrically laminated plates with a given material system and subjected to uniaxial compression is maximized wi th respect to fiber orientations by using a sequential linear programm ing method together with a simple move-limit strategy. Significant inf luence of plate thicknesses, aspect ratios, central circular cutouts a nd end conditions on the optimal fiber orientations and the associated optimal buckling loads of symmetrically laminated plates are shown.
