摘要

In this paper, the governing differential equations of elastic stability problems in thermopiezoelectric media are deduced. The solutions of the thermal buckling problems for piezoelectric laminated plates are presented in the context of the mathematical theory of elasticity. Owing to the complexity of the eigenvalue problem involved, the critical temperature values of thermal buckling must be solved numerically. The numerical results for piezoelectric/non-piezoelectric laminated plates are presented and the influence of piezoelectricity upon thermal buckling temperature is discussed.
