Summary 
A high accuracy finite strip for the buckling and post-buckling analysis of
moderately thick composite plates is presented in this paper by using first order
shear deformation theory. The method presented, which is designated by the name
full-analytical finite strip method, provides an efficient and extremely accurate
buckling solution in which the Von-Karman's equilibrium set of equations is solved
exactly, and the out-of-plane mode shapes and critical loads are obtained. In the
post-buckling stage, the Von-Karman's compatibility equation is solved exactly with
the assumption that the deflected form after buckling is a combination of buckling
modes obtained (single or multiple mode shapes). The principle of minimum
potential energy is invoked to solve for the unknown coefficients in the assumed
out-of-plane deflection and rotations functions.
