In this paper, postbuckling behavior and progressive failure of laminated plates considering geometric nonlinearity and evolving material damage under uniaxial, biaxial compressive and in-plane shear loadings are studied. The damage model is based on a generalized macroscopic continuum theory within the framework of irreversible thermodynamics and enables to predict the progressive damage and failure load. Damage variables are introduced for the phenomenological treatment of degradation of the stiffness properties of laminated plates due to microscopic defects. The analysis is carried out using field-consistent finite element approach based on first-order shear deformation theory. The nonlinear governing equations are solved using the Newton–Raphson iterative technique coupled with the adaptive displacement control method to trace the pre- and postbuckling equilibrium path. The damage evolution equations are solved at every Gauss point using Newton–Raphson iterative technique within each loading/displacement increment iteration. The detailed parametric study is carried out to investigate the influences of evolving damage, span-to-thickness ratio, lamination scheme, boundary conditions and aspect ratio on the postbuckling response and failure load of laminated plates under in-plane loading. The ratio of failure load to buckling load increases with increase in thickness ratio due to the dominating restoring action of in-plane stretching forces in postbuckling region of thin plates whereas the thick plates depict material failure prior to buckling point. Thin plates with SSFF boundary conditions with evolving damage depict softening postbuckling response whereas the plates with other boundary conditions considered depict hardening response.
