Finite element studies on buckling of laminated cylindrical skew panels

The present paper presents the finite element studies made on critical buckling load of isotropic and laminated composite cylindrical skew panels. Analysis is performed using CQUAD4 and CQUAD8 elements of MSC/NASTRAN. It is found that the CQUAD8 element yields better results compared to the CQUAD4 e...
