ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the effect of hygrothermal environment on the flexural responses of sinusoidally corrugated laminated composite panel subjected to uniform load. The sinusoidal corrugation in the laminated composite panel is achieved using general curvature method. The displacement field is developed based on the higher-order shear deformation mid-plane kinematics theory having nine degrees-of-freedom. The governing equations are obtained by employing minimum total potential energy method. The convergence and comparison with the published results reveals the efficacy of the present model. Finally, numerical experimentation demonstrate the effect of parameters like corrugation ratio, edge constraints, length-to-thickness ratio, and side-to-side ratio on the deflection of the corrugated laminated composite panel under hygrothermal environment.
