Minimum-weight design of symmetrically laminated composite plates for postbuckling performance under in-plane compression loads

A postbuckling analysis procedure for simply-supported, symmetrically laminated, rectangular, generally orthotropic plates under uniaxial compression based on a Marguerre-type energy method was developed. The analysis assumes the out-of-plane displacement to be represented by using a truncated Fouri...
