Abstract The buckled wave length and the critical in-plane bending moment of laminated long composite strips of cord-reinforced rubber sheets on an elastic foundation is analyzed by Galerkin's method, with consideration of interlaminar shear deformation. An approximate formula for the wave length is given in terms of cord angle, elastic moduli of the constituent rubber and steel cord, and several structural dimensions. The calculated wave length for a 165SR13 automobile tire with steel breakers (belts) was very close to experimental results. An additional study was then conducted on the post-buckling behavior of a laminated biased composite beam on an elastic foundation. This beam is subjected to axial compression. The calculated relationship between the buckled wave rise and the compressive membrane force also agreed well with experimental results.

In this research, post-buckling response of sandwich beams with carbon nanotube reinforced face sheets subjected to uniform temperature rise loading and resting on a two-parameter elastic foundation is investigated. A single-layer theory formulation based on the first-order shear deformation beam theory is used. Material properties of the media are obtained according to a refined rule of mixtures approach which contains efficiency parameters. Suitable for the large deformations, von-Kármán strains are taken into consideration. The elastic foundation is modelled as the Pasternak model which takes into account the shear interaction of the springs. Material properties of the face sheets are considered to be position and temperature dependent. The governing equations of the system are obtained using the Ritz method for various combinations of clamped, simply supported and sliding supported edges. Post-buckling equilibrium path of the beam is obtained according to an iterative displacement control strategy. Numerical results of the present study are compared with the available data in the open literature. Then, the numerical results are provided to explore the effect of side-to-thickness ratio, volume fraction of carbon nanotube, distribution pattern of carbon nanotube, the ratio of face thickness-to-host thickness, boundary conditions and elastic foundation.

In this paper, an analytical approach for nonlinear buckling and post-buckling behavior of stiffened porous functionally graded plate rested on Pasternak's elastic foundation under mechanical load in thermal environment is presented. The orthogonal and/or oblique stiffeners are attached to the surface of plate and are included in the calculation by improving the Lekhnitskii's smeared stiffener technique in the framework of higher-order shear deformation plate theory. The complex equilibrium and stability equations are established based on the Reddy's higher-order shear deformation plate theory and taken into account the geometrical nonlinearity of von Kármán. The solution forms of displacements satisfying the different boundary conditions are chosen, the stress function method and the Galerkin procedure are used to solve the problem. The good agreements of the present analytical solution are validated by making the comparisons of the present results with other results. In addition, the effects of porosity distribution, stiffener, volume fraction index, thermal environment, elastic foundation… on the critical buckling load and post-buckling response of porous functionally graded material plates are numerically investigated.
