Main code (VAT_FEA_code folder):
Thermal_buckling_plate_validation_Duran.m
- using Duran's model for analysis
- Present results in two cases are not same with Duran's results but close with NASTRAN/ABAQUS results, check the attached manuscript for details
The code is mainly used for conducting thermal buckling analysis of VAT laminated plate by using example in Duran's paper https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0263822314007314
Change the material name in Line 104 for different material cases.
