The effective material properties of the CFRP composite are calculated by the Mori\u2013Tanaka homogenization method. The theoretical formulations are based on classical laminate plate theory (CLPT) and the von K\u00e1rm\u00e1n equations for large deflections. The governing equations are derived based on the principle of virtual work and then solved through the Navier solution. Results are obtained for the critical buckling load and temperature effect of a simply supported plate subjected to in-plane loading. A detailed numerical study is conducted to provide important insights into the effects of the functionally graded carbon fiber (CF) distribution pattern and volume fraction, total number of layers, temperature, geometrical dimension and lamination angle on the buckling load of functionally carbon-fiber-reinforced composite plates. Finally, the validation is compared with the Reddy and finite element analyses, which show consistency with each other.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym15092086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,28]],"date-time":"2023-04-28T01:33:40Z","timestamp":1682645620000},"page":"2086","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Buckling Analysis on Resin Base Laminated Plate Reinforced with Uniform and Functional Gradient Distribution of Carbon Fiber in Thermal Environment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Xiaoqiang","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanics, School of Aerospace Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China"},{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Engineering Structural Analysis and Safety Assessment, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qingquan","family":"You","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanics, School of Aerospace Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China"},{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Engineering Structural Analysis and Safety Assessment, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Research Institute of Materials & Processing Technology, Beijing 100076, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fenfei","family":"Hua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanics, School of Aerospace Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China"},{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Engineering Structural Analysis and Safety Assessment, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wanbiao","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanics, School of Aerospace Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China"},{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Engineering Structural Analysis and Safety Assessment, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qingyang","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanics, School of Aerospace Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China"},{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Engineering Structural Analysis and Safety Assessment, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuanfang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Railway Locomotive and Vehicle Institute, Wuhan Railway Vocational College of Technology, Wuhan 430205, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"318","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dt.2018.02.001","article-title":"A review on machinability of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite materials","volume":"14","year":"2018","journal-title":"Def.
