Abstract
The presence of elevated temperature can alter significantly the structural response of fibre-reinforced laminated composites. A thermal environment causes degradation in both strength and constitutive properties, particularly in the case of fibre-reinforced polymeric composites. Furthermore, associated thermal expansion, either alone or in combination with mechanically induced deformation, can result in buckling, large deflections, and excessively high stress levels. Consequently, it is often imperative to consider environmental effects in the analysis and design of laminated systems. Exact analytical solutions of higher-order shear deformation theory is developed to study the thermal buckling of cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply rectangular plates. The buckling behavior of moderately thick cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply laminates that are simply supported and subject to a uniform temperature rise is analyzed. Numerical results are presented for fiber-reinforced laminates and show the effects of ply orientation, number of layers, plate thickness, and aspects ratio on the critical buckling temperature and compared with those obtained using the classical and first-order shear deformation theory.
강섬유보강 적층복합구조물에서 온도의 변화는 구조물의 응답에 중요한 영향을 미칠수 있다. 온도의 급작스런 변화는 재료의 강도와 성질을 현저히 저하시켜 구조물의 대변형, 좌굴, 고응력상태를 유발하는 중요한 인자가 된다. 본 연구에서는 등분포로 재하된 온도하중에 의한 적층복합판의 온도좌굴에 관한 해석을 수행하였다. 전단변형의 효과를 정확히 고려하기위해 5개의 변수로 구성된 고차전단변형이론을 적용하였다. 적층판의 배열각도, 적층판의 수, 폭-두께비의 변화, 형상비의 변화에 따른 임계좌굴온도를 구하여 1차전단변형이론에 의한 결과와 고전적이론에 의한 결과와 비교분석하였다.
