A review is made of the different approaches used for modeling multilayered composite shells. Discussion focuses on different approaches for developing two-dimensional shear deformation theories; classification of two-dimensional theories based on introducing plausible displacement, strain and/or stress assumptions in the thickness direction; first-order shear deformation theories based on linear displacement assumptions in the thickness coordinate; and efficient computational strategies for anisotropic composite shells. Extensive numerical results are presented showing the effects of variation in the lamination and geometric parameters of simply supported composite cylinders on the accuracy of the static and vibrational responses predicted by eight different modeling approaches (based on two-dimensional shear deformation theories). The standard of comparison is taken to be the exact three-dimensional elasticity solutions. The quantities compared include both the gross response characteristics (eg, vibration frequencies and strain energy components); and detailed, through-the-thickness distributions of displacements, stresses, and strain energy densities. Some of the future directions for research on the modeling of multilayered composite shells are outlined.

Lightweight thin-walled structures are crucial for many engineering applications. Advanced manufacturing methods are enabling the realization of composite materials with spatially varying material properties. Variable angle tow fibre composites are a representative example, but also nanocomposites are opening new interesting possibilities. Taking advantage of these tunable materials requires the development of computational design methods. The failure of such structures is often dominated by buckling and can be very sensitive to material configuration and geometrical imperfections. This work is a review of the recent computational developments concerning the optimisation of the response of composite thin-walled structures prone to buckling, showing how baseline products with unstable behaviour can be transformed in stable ones operating safely in the post-buckling range. Four main aspects are discussed: mechanical and discrete models for composite shells, material parametrization and objective function definition, solution methods for tracing the load-displacement path and assessing the imperfection sensitivity, structural optimisation algorithms. A numerical example of optimal material design for a curved panel is also illustrated.
