Classical and Improved Theories
In this chapter, the theoretical background for two commonly used structural theories for the modelling and analysis of laminates and sandwiches is considered, namely the classical laminate theory and the first-order shear deformation theory. The classica

Preface
Laminate and sandwich structures are typical lightweight elements with rapidly expanding application in various industrial fields. In the past, these structures were used primarily in aircraft and aerospace industries. Now, they have also found application in civil and mechanical engineering, in the automotive industry, in shipbuilding, the sport goods industries, etc. The advantages that these materials have over traditional materials like metals and their alloys are the relatively high specific strength properties (the ratio strength to density, etc). In addition, the laminate and sandwich structures provide good vibration and noise protection, thermal insulation, etc. There are also disadvantage s - for example, composite laminates are brittle, and the joining of such element s is not as easy as with classical materials. The recycling of these materials is also problematic,
