TL;DR: In this article, a review article on the problem of buckling of moderately thick, laminated, composite shells subjected to destabilizing loads is presented, which consists of uniform axial compression, uniform lateral pressure and torsion applied individually or in combination.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the establishment of similarity conditions between two structural systems, which provide the relationship between a scale model and its prototype, and can be used to predict the behavior of the prototype by extrapolating the experimental data of the corresponding small scale model.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical investigation was undertaken to show how and to what extent similitude theory can be applied in the design of scaled-down models and the necessary similarity conditions, referred to herein as scaling laws, pertaining to free vibrations of laminated plates are derived.

TL;DR: In this paper, a higher order theory for a laminated cylindrical configuration under the actions of lateral pressure, axial compression, and eccentrically applied torsion is presented.
