Abstract

The applications of skew plates in the construction of aerospace structures are well known. The critical buckling load and post-buckling strength are two important design parameters of skew composite laminates. In this study, the refined buckling and nonlinear postbuckling solutions of a homogenous isotropic skew plate based on polynomial expansions of various degrees have been examined. Numerical results based on high-order Rayleigh-Ritz solutions are presented for certain type of oblique plates.
