Large deformation of antisymmetric angle-ply laminates resulting from nonuniform temperature loadings

Journal Article · · J. Therm. Stresses; (United States)

The incremental-loading procedure of Huang and Tauchert (1988) is used to obtain approximate solutions for the moderately large deflections of antisymmetric angle-ply plates under nonuniform temperature fields. A parabolic in-plane variation and a linearly varying transverse distribution of temperature are considered. The analysis predicts the existence of a bifurcation along the thermal load-deflection path for certain laminate configurations and loadings. Results based on the large-deflection theory are compared with exact solutions to the classical small-deformation formulation for various fiber-reinforced laminates. 6 references.
