摘要: Abstract The buckling of composite plates is a very complicated subject about which at least 200 references are already available. present paper examines the characteristics and parameters may need to be considered, both from mathematical physical points view, provides perspective organization subject. first part deals with classical bifurcation analysis, discusses relevant plate equations their solutions, considers shapes, edge conditions loadings arise. second treats complicating effects (those still yielding linear eigenvalue problems bifurcation) including: elastic foundation, variable thickness, shear deformation, hygrothermal inplane heterogeneity. third takes up non-classical considerations—postbuckling, geometric imperfections, parametric excitation, follower forces inelastic material.
