    In this paper thermal stability of laminated composite plates is analyzed using layerwise finite element. The weak form of the plate mathematical model is derived using layerwise displacement field of Reddy [1], nonlinear strain-displacement relations (in von Karman sense) and linear orthotropic thermo-mechanical material properties. The weak form is discretized using isoparametric finite element formulation. The nine-node Lagrangian isoparametric element is used to derive element stiffness and geometric stiffness matrix. The originally coded MATLAB program is used to analyze the effects of different boundary conditions on thermo-elastic stability of laminate composite plate. The accuracy of the numerical model is verified by comparison with the available results from the literature

    Finite Element Model for the Static Analysis of Laminated Composite and Sandwich Plates

    Finite element model for the static analysis of laminated composite and sandwich plates, based on Generalized Laminate Plate Theory (GLPT) is presented in this paper. Within each layer, the theory assumes piece-wise variation of in-plane displacement components, constant transverse displacement component and parabolic distribution of shear stresses, thus accurately modeling the warping of cross section and including the effects of transverse shear deformation. Transverse shear stresses satisfy Hook’s low, 3D equilibrium equations and traction free boundary conditions. Using the assumed displacement field, linear strain-displacement relations and 3D constitutive equations of lamina, equilibrium equations are derived according to the principle of virtual displacements. In the finite element formulation, in-plane displacement components are through the thickness approximated using two-node linear 1D Lagrangian finite element, while the four and nine node 2D Lagrangian elements are used for approximation of displacements in plane. Numerical results for bending stresses, transverse shearing stresses and displacements are presented, showing the parametric effect of plate aspect ratio, side-to-thickness ratio, lamination angle schemes and degree of orthotropy. The accuracy of the results is verified with the 3D elasticity theory, Higher-order Shear Deformation Theory (HSDT), First-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) and Classical Laminated Plate Theory (CLPT) available in the literature. It has been shown that GLPT finite element gives excellent agreement with 3D elasticity theory and may be used in the future linear and nonlinear analysis of laminated composites

    In this paper a finite element model for thermal buckling of imperfect plates using Layer Wise (LW) plate mode [1] is presented. The model assumes layerwise variation of in-plane displacements and constant transverse displacement through the thickness of the plate, non-linear strain-displacement relations (in von Karman sense) and linear thermo mechanical material properties. The Koiter model for imperfection is adopted. The Principle of virtual displacements (PVD) is used to derive the weak form of linearized buckling problem. The weak form is discretized using Lagrangian nine-node isoparametric finite element. The original MATLAB program is coded for finite element solution. The effects of imperfection amplitude, imperfection form and plate aspect ratio a/h on critical temperature are analyzed. The accuracy of the numerical model is verified by comparison with the available results from the literature
