Classical Laminate Theory (CLT) is an engineering theory used to predict the mechanical behavior of laminated composite materials. Laminates are composed of multiple layers (plies) of different materials, such as fibers and a matrix, stacked together to form a single, unified structure. CLT is primarily used for predicting the effective properties of laminates. These properties refer to the composite material's behavior as a whole, considering the combined effects of all the individual layers. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5sp9kt8fqi4kltzeyduno/PART-5-LAMINATE-STIFFNESS-AND-STRENGTH-2023.pdf?rlkey=2s0o3ua77qpg7qpksxx6tu2bs&dl=0
