| Abstract: | In this article, thermal buckling of laminated composite beams, based on hyperbolic refined shear deformation theory, presented for the first time, is formulated using the principle of minimum total potential energy. Navier’s analytical solution is derived to analytically solve the differential equations and the thermal critical buckling is presented in closed-form solution. The effects of temperature distribution, length to thickness ratio, modulus ratio, and thermal expansion coefficient ratio on thermal buckling of isotropic, orthotropic and laminated composite beams are investigated. The accuracy of the numerical model is verified by comparison with the available results in the literature. |
