The method proposed previously by one of the authors for optimum design of fibrous laminated composite plates subjected to uniaxial compression has been proved to be applicable also to those subjected to biaxial compression. The proposed procedure consists of two methods. One is the Boundary Slope Method (BSM) and the other is the Critical Buckling mode Method (CBM). In order to apply these two methods, the range of the plate aspect ratio must be obtained because each method is valid only in its characteristic range of the aspect ratio. In comparison with the case of uniaxial compression, the transition of aspect ratio between BSM and CBM is somewhat complicated for the case of biaxal compression. However, the present procedure reduces computational time remarkably in comparison with numerical calculations.
