Analytic three-dimensional thermoelasticity solutions are presented for the thermal buckling of muitilayered angle-ply composite plates with temperature-dependent thermoelastic properties. Both the critical temperatures and the sensitivity derivatives are computed. The sensitivity derivatives measure the sensitivity of the buckling response to variations in the different lamination and material parameters of the plate. The plates are assumed to have rectangular geometry and an antisymmetric lamination with respect to the middle plane. The temperature is assumed to be independent of the surface coordinates, but has an arbitrary symmetric variation through the thickness of the plate. The prebuckling deformations are accounted for. Numerical results are presented, for plates subjected to uniform temperature increase, showing the effects of temperature-dependent material properties on the prebuckling stresses, critical temperatures, and their sensitivity derivatives.

Thermal buckling and postbuckling of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) beams are investigated in this paper based on Timoshenko beam theory within the framework of von Kármán geometric nonlinearity. The material properties of FG-CNTRCs are assumed to be temperature-dependent and vary in the beam thickness direction. The governing equations are derived by employing Hamilton’s principle then discretized by using differential quadrature (DQ) method. An iterative scheme is used to obtain the critical buckling temperature and nonlinear thermal postbuckling equilibrium path of the FG-CNTRC beam. Numerical results are presented for FG-CNTRC beams hinged or clamped at both ends, with particular focuses on the effects of the volume fraction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), slenderness ratio, and end supports on the thermal buckling and postbuckling characteristics.
