Abstract
A micromechanical approach is combined with a structural analysis in order to investigate the time-dependent response and dynamic buckling of structures composed of nonlinear polymeric matrices (e.g. epoxy) reinforced by elastic fibres. The composite structures considered herein are either plates or cylindrical shells both of which are under cylindrical bending conditions. Results are given which illustrate the effect of nonlinear behaviour on the dynamic response of the composite structure.
