Abstract: A numerical analysis using finite element method(FEM) has been carried out to study the
buckling behavior of graphite/epoxy laminated composite plates subjected to inplane uniaxial and biaxial
compression loadings .In the present study, the effect of aspect ratio, number of plies and fibre orientation
on buckling behavior graphite/epoxy. The results shows that the buckling loads of a composite laminated
plate subjected to inplane uniaxial compressive loading decreases by increasing the plate aspect ratio ().It is
seen that the number of plies,inplane loads and aspect ratio () have a substantial influence on buckling
strength of composite laminated plate.
The orientation of the fibres and stacking sequence Plates are flat structural elements whose
has a large effect on the deformation and stress thickness is smaller than other dimensions and they
throughout the laminate are the most widely used slender structural elements
subjected to both inplane and out of plane loadings.
