A significant amount of research has been conducted on the buckling behavior of delaminated composite laminates. However, none of the investigations has been focused on establishing similarity and scaling laws for buckling response of composite...

This paper presents the similarity conditions between aeroelastic instability (flutter) and the free vibration frequency of cross-ply laminated plate. The method is based upon the direct use of governing equation of the ...
