An analytic solution for bending of the plate is obtained in the form of double trigonometric series. Based on the analytic result, a numerical test is carried out to study the thickness and time dependences of the buckling behavior of a plate made of a PVC matrix and titanium particles. %N 3 %K composite plate; buckling; unsteady heat transfer; PVC; titanium particles %P 297-304 %V 48 %D 2012 %I Springer US %R dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11029-012-9276-4 %L SisLab110
