To model composite laminate in the context of mechanics, there exist a few models :
|

|
|
|

|
|
## Equivalent single layer (ESL)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Those theories works by computing the homogenized material properties, and solving only at the mid plane. They are useful for global response for thin laminates and are computationnally inexpensive.

## Layerwise (LW)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Those theories describe kinetically each layer. They can be used for very thick laminate, and useful to compute delamination. They predicts correct inter-laminar stresses and there is no need of shear correction factor.
