“…This study also reveals the unique ability of SMA wires to retain the plate in pre-buckling state which consequently results in higher buckling temperatures. Kuo et al [20] reported a finite elements formulation to study the buckling behavior of rectangular laminate plate. Special attention has been given to the SMA fiber distribution function.…”

“…They showed the influence of both SMA arrangement and temperature on the vibrational characteristics. Kuo et al (2009) used the Finite Element Method to study the buckling of laminated composite plate embedded with SMA fibers. According to their findings, the concentration of these fibers on the middle of plate improves buckling load.…”

In the present study, an analytical closed form solution for free vibration response of hybrid composite plate reinforced with shape memory alloy (SMA) fibers is derived. Recovery stresses generated during martensitic phase transformation are obtained based on onedimensional Brinson's model. The mechanical properties of plate are assumed to be temperature dependent. Based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) the governing equations are obtained via Hamilton's principle. Ritz method is used to obtain the fundamental natural frequency of the plate for different temperatures. A detailed parametric analysis shows the strong influence of the volume fraction, pre-strain, orientation and location of SMA fibers as well as the aspect ratio of the plate on the fundamental natural frequency and the onset of the thermal buckling.

“…For the [0 2 /90 2 ] s stacking sequence, the out-of plane deflection was found to reduce up to 40.1% upon SMA activation. In his recent study, the effect of nonuniformly distributed SMA fibers along transverse direction on the linear buckling of a laminated plate was studied by Kuo et al [8] using the FEM. They found that when the SMA fibers were concentrated in the centre of the plate, the buckling load of the plate will be improved considerably.…”

Shape memory alloy has been used as actuator parts in aerospace industry since the 1970s. In recent years, this smart material has been used to improve structural behaviours. Due to environmental heating, the problem of buckling of thin composite structures of aerospace vehicles becomes significant. A numerical study on the buckling and post-buckling improvements of composite plates due to shape memory effect behaviour of the shape memory alloy is presented. The shape memory alloy wires were embedded within laminated composite plates to exploit the recovery stress induced by the shape memory alloy to improve the stiffness of the plates. The study was conducted on symmetric and anti-symmetric angle-ply and cross-ply composite plates. The methods of active property tuning and active strain energy tuning were applied to show the various effects of the shape memory alloy on the studied behaviours. A geometric non-linear finite element model of the shape memory alloy composite plates and its source code were developed. It was found that significant improvements occurred in the critical loads and the postbuckling paths of the symmetric and anti-symmetric angle-ply and the symmetric cross-ply composite plates due to the active strain energy tuning method. In the case of the anti-symmetric cross-ply composite plate where bifurcation point did not exist, the post-buckling path improved substantially too.
