A COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR INSTABILITY ANALYSIS OF LAMINATED LONG PLATES SUBJECTED TO COMBINED INPLANE LOADS USER’S MANUAL

摘要

The usage of the computer program BUCLAP2 is described in this manual. The program is intended for linear instability analysis of long, rectangular flat and curved laminated plates with arbitrary orientation of orthotropic axes in each layer. The loadings considered are combinations of inplane normal and shear loads. Arbitrary elastic boundary conditions are included for the sides of the plate.nThis manual consists of instructions for use of the program. It includes input data requirements, output information, and sample problems. The program description is available in a separate document.
