Laminated Composite Theory

Laminated Composite Theory analyzes how layered materials, called laminates, behave under various forces. These composites are made of multiple thin sheets (plies) bonded together, each with its own strength and stiffness. The theory helps engineers predict how the entire laminate will stretch, bend, or resist forces by considering the properties and orientations of individual layers. It’s essential for designing strong, lightweight structures like aircraft wings and sports equipment, ensuring safety and performance by understanding how each layer contributes to the overall behavior of the composite material.
