Linear Stability Problem

In the present paper the governing equations for corrugated cross-ply laminated composite plates in the form of a sine wave are developed based on the Kirchoff-Love's theory and the extension of Seydel's technique. By using Bubnov-Galerkin method approximated analytical solutions to the non-linear stability problem of corrugated laminated composite plates subjected to biaxial loads are investigated. The post buckling load-deflection curve of corrugated plates and analytical expressions of the upper and lower buckling loads are presented. The effectiveness of corrugated plates in enhancing the stability compared with corresponding fiat plates is given.

Linear Stability Problem

Corrugated plates of wave form made of isotropic elastic material were considered as flat orthotropic plates with corresponding orthotropic constants determined empirically by the Seydel’s technique. In some recent researches the extension of this technique was given for corrugated laminated composite plates. In the present paper a new approach for investigating corrugated composite plate of wave form is proposed, regarding this plates as a combination of parts of shallow cylindrical shells with alternative curvatures. It reduces to no use of Seydel’s empirical formulas and sufficiently apply to composite plates. Based on this approach governing equations of corrugated laminated composite plate of wave form are developed and application to the non-linear stability problem of this plate is considered. Obtained results are compared with those of Seydel’s technique.

Zigzag Theory

In this study, a bubble complex finite strip method (BCFSM) with the higher-order zigzag theory is formulated for mechanical buckling and free vibration analysis of laminated composite plates, including cross-ply and angle-ply laminates. Few studies have been done to obtain the analytical solutions for clamped and free boundary conditions in the longitudinal and transverse edges. Therefore, this study, for the first time, investigates the effects of various boundary conditions on the stability and vibration results of laminated composite plates subjected to axial or pure shear forces with the use of higher-order zigzag theory and BCFSM. Following this, both the interlaminar continuity conditions of transverse shear stresses and the shear-free surface conditions are satisfied by applying a cubic displacement and a zigzag linear varying displacement with the same number of unknowns as the first-order shear deformation theories. Moreover, the effects of width-to-thickness ratio, fiber orientation, number of modes, different dimensional ratios of the plate, and finally, the number of layers are investigated through numerical examples. The bubble shape functions are exploited in the transverse direction to improve the convergence of the method. Finally, the shearing and axial interaction diagrams of composite laminated plates are presented for various types of boundary conditions.
