Abstract This paper presents an analytical-numerical methodology for the geometrically nonlinear analysis of laminated composite plates under dynamic loading. The methodology employs Galerkin technique, in which suitable polynomials are chosen as trial functions. In the solution process, Newmark’s scheme for time integration, and modified Newton-Raphson method for the solution of resulting nonlinear equations are used. In the formulation, first order shear deformation theory based on Mindlin’s hypothesis and von Kármán type geometric nonlinearity are considered. The results are compared to that of finite strips, and Chebyshev series published elsewhere. The method is found to determine closely both the displacements and the stresses. A finite element analysis has also been carried out for the validation of the results. The present method can be efficiently and easily applied for the nonlinear transient analysis of laminated composite plates with various boundary conditions.

In the present paper the governing equations for corrugated cross-ply laminated composite plates in the form of a sine wave are developed based on the Kirchoff-Love's theory and the extension of Seydel's technique. By using Bubnov-Galerkin method approximated analytical solutions to the non-linear stability problem of corrugated laminated composite plates subjected to biaxial loads are investigated. The post buckling load-deflection curve of corrugated plates and analytical expressions of the upper and lower buckling loads are presented. The effectiveness of corrugated plates in enhancing the stability compared with corresponding fiat plates is given.
