The instability improvement of the symmetric angle-ply and cross-ply composite plates with shape memory alloy using finite element method

Shape memory alloy (SMA) wires were embedded within laminated composite plates to take advantage of the shape memory effect property of the SMA in improving post-buckling behavior of composite plates. A nonlinear finite element formulation was developed for this study. The plate-bending formulation...
