Abstract

Abstract: Present work mainly deals with the buckling analysis of inter-ply hybrid composite plate which is made by the combination of one natural and two synthetic unidirectional fabrics and epoxy resin. Finite element method is used to predict the buckling behavior of composite plate with [(0/90)3 ]S, [(45/-45)3 ]S, [(30/-60)3 ]S symmetrical and [(0/90)3 ]US, [(45/-45)3 ]US, [(30/-60)3 ]US un-symmetrical ply orientation and FCA, FAC, CFA, CAF, AFC and ACF ply sequence (order) . Modelling and analysis of composite plate are performed in ANSYS 16.0 software to determine the best ply orientation and sequence of ply under buckling case. It is concluded that symmetric [(0/90)3 ]s ply orientation and CAF ply sequence is best suited for buckling of composite plate
