Summary

An analysis is presented for the post-buckling behaviour of simply-supported, laminated cross-ply rectangular plates subjected to biaxial compression. The solution to von Kármán-type large deflection equations of the plate is expressed as a double sine series for the transverse deflection and a double series of clamped-clamped beam functions for the force function. All the boundary conditions, including those involving the normal bending moment at the edges, are satisfied exactly. The series solution is found to converge rapidly. Using only the first few terms in the series, numerical results for square graphite-epoxy unsymmetric laminates under uniaxial compression is presented graphically.
