The first-order shear deformation theory in conjunction with variational energy method is employed in the mathematical formulation. The eight-node Lagrangian finite element technique is used for obtaining the thermal buckling temperatures of hybrid composite laminates. The effects of crack size and lay-up sequences on the thermal buckling temperatures for symmetric and antisymmetric plates are investigated. The results are shown in graphical form for various boundary conditions. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
