Abstract

A11 angle-ply laminated plate is optimized with the objective of maximizing critical buckling load. The material properties of the plate are not known precisely but with some scatter around their average values. Convex analysis approach is employed to determine the material properties producing the lowest buckling load. The laminate is optimized over the ply-angles for the worst case of elastic moduli. The results are given for uniaxial and biaxial loading cases as well as for various aspect ratios.
