Abstract

In this paper, the nonlinear dynamic buckling of laminated composite plate is studied along with the failure of the plates. The balanced and symmetric cross-ply laminated composite plates are subjected to in-plane impulse compressive loads. The dynamic buckling load is calculated using Volmir’s criterion. The nonlinear dynamic equations are solved using the finite element method. Imperfections are incorporated in the plate in order to simulate the actual behavior. The effect of imperfection, loading function, and duration of loading is studied. The first ply failure load for the plate is calculated to check the precedence of dynamic buckling and first ply failure. It is observed that the first ply failure for balanced and symmetric cross-ply laminated composite plates occurs after the plate has buckled due to dynamic impulse loads.
