Abstract
The present paper is devoted to a state-of-the-art review on the computational treatment of laminated composite and sandwich panels. Over two hundred texts have been included in the survey with the focus put on theoretical models for multilayered plates and shells, and FEM implementation of various computational concepts. As a result of the review, one could notice a lack of a single numerical model capable for a universal representation of all layered composite and sandwich panels. Usually, with the increase of the range of rotations considered in the particular model, one can observe the decrease of the degree of complexity of the through-the-thickness representation of deformation profiles.Keywords
