“…Arciniega et al [10] studied the postbuckling response of laminated cylindrical shells to produce much more accurate results using a third-order shear deformation shell theory. Based on higher-order shear deformation theory, thermal buckling behavior of laminated cross-ply oval cylindrical shells is analyzed by Patel et al [11][12][13] using finite element approach, which accounted for influence of transverse shear and transverse normal deformations, shell geometry, ovality, and lay-up on the critical temperature parameter of laminated oval cylindrical shells. It is noted that in most of the foregoing studies, a membrane prebuckling state is assumed.…”
