Introduction

In this lecture we will summarize some of the key points we have studied throughout this course which will be helpful for designing of laminated composites. Further, we will introduce some more key points which are very peculiar to laminated composites and very important from design and analysis point of view. Some of the considerations itself are a broad areas of study. However, in this lecture we will just introduce these issues for the sake of completeness. An additional reading on these topics is suggested to readers.
