Abstract

In this paper, general equations relating to the stability of laminated plates of symmetric cross-ply with initial imperfection factors are derived by using the variational principle. Taking the deflection as the perturbation parameter, the equilibrium path of the post-buckling path of a simply supported rectangular plate is investigated with the perturbation method. An approximation expression and a typical numerical example are presented to manifest the post-buckling behavior of the rectangular plate.
