For the first time, postbuckling behavior of thick doubly curved panels made of carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC), under preexisting external pressure and subjected to uniform temperature rise is analyzed in this paper. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are reinforced into matrix through functionally graded (FG) distribution patterns, and effective properties of CNTRC are determined according to extended rule of mixture. Formulations are based on a higher order shear deformation theory including Von Karman-Donnell nonlinearity, initial geometrical imperfection and elasticity of tangential constraints of boundary edges. Analytical solutions are assumed to satisfy simply supported boundary conditions and Galerkin method is used to obtain nonlinear load-deflection relation. Taking into account temperature dependence of material properties, postbuckling temperature-deflection paths are traced through an iteration process. The effects of preexisting external pressure, CNT volume fraction, tangential edge constraints, initial geometrical imperfection and curvature ratios on thermal postbuckling behavior of CNTRC doubly curved panels are analyzed through numerical examples. The study reveals that thermally loaded panels experiences a quasi-bifurcation response due to the presence of preexisting external pressure. For the most part, perfect panels are deflected toward convex side at the onset of undergoing thermal load. Particularly, imperfect panels may exhibit a bifurcation type buckling response when imperfection size satisfy a special condition.
