Abstract: Laminated composite beams are widely used in engineering applications due to their superior strength-to-weight ratio and tailored mechanical properties. Various computational mechanics approaches have been proposed to analyze their bending and buckling behaviors, ranging from classical theories to advanced higher-order models. This review focuses on computational methods, comparing classical, higher-order, zigzag, and layerwise theories. A comparative analysis with the present theory highlights its computational advantages in displacement field modeling, bending accuracy, and buckling predictions.
