AbstractThe buckling response of symmetric laminates that possess strong flexural-twist coupling is studied using different methodologies. Such plates are difficult to analyze because of localized gradients in the mode shape. Initially, the energy method (Rayleigh-Ritz) using Legendre polynomials is employed, and the difficulty of achieving reliable solutions for some extreme cases is discussed. To overcome the convergence problems, the concept of Lagrangian multiplier is introduced into the Rayleigh-Ritz formulation. The Lagrangian multiplier approach is able to provide the upper and lower bounds of critical buckling load results. In addition, mixed variational principles are used to gain a better understanding of the mechanics behind the strong flexural-twist anisotropy effect on buckling solutions. Specifically, the Hellinger-Reissner variational principle is used to study the effect of flexural-twist coupling on buckling and also to explore the potential for developing closed-form solutions for these ...
