Thermal buckling and postbuckling analysis of a laminated composite beam with embedded SMA actuators

Thermal postbuckling analysis of anisotropic laminated beams with different boundary conditions resting on two-parameter elastic foundations

“…Nayfeh and Emam (2008) investigated the postbuckling behavior of beams composed of isotropic materials under the axial load with various boundary conditions. Lee and Choi (1999) studied the thermal buckling and postbuckling behaviors of a composite beam with embedded shape memory alloy (SMA) wires using the finite element model in which the SMA wire actuators are modeled with the beam elements and the composite laminates with the shell elements. Asadi et al (2013Asadi et al ( , 2014 investigated the large amplitude vibration and nonlinear buckling of SMA fiberreinforced hybrid composite beams with symmetric and asymmetric lay-up using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and the nonlinear von-Karman strain field.…”

Exact solution for nonlinear thermal stability of hybrid laminated composite Timoshenko beams reinforced with SMA fibers

“…Lee and Choi [6] performed an analytical study on the thermal buckling and post-buckling capacity of laminated beams with SMA wires. Uniform temperature rise case of thermal loading is considered.…”

“…Motivated by experimentally observed results of Chio et al [4,5], Thompson and Loughlan [9] and Loughlan et al [10] or the simulation-based conclusion of Lee and his co-authors [6,7,8] many investigations have been conducted to study the mechanism and the influence of SMA actuators on postponing the bifurcation points, limit points, and enhancing the post-critical states of the structures embedded with SMA wires. Ostachowicz et al [11,12] investigated the linear problems of free vibration, thermal buckling, and flutter in delaminated composite plate embedded with SMA fibers using the finite element method.…”
