摘要
A shear deformable laminated theory is used to study the optimal design of rectangular plates under biaxial compressive loads. Such loads lead to plate failure by buckling or material failure which corresponds to the violation of the selected strength criterion. The minimum of the two loads (buckling load or material failure load) determines the critical failure load for a given set of problem parameters. At the optimum values of the ply angles, buckling or both failure criteria may be operational depending on the laminate thickness. The present study investigates the effect of laminate thickness on the optimal design and gives numerical results for symmetrically laminated angle-ply plates. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
