Abstract

This paper comprehensively reviews research articles on linear and nonlinear performances of laminated shells. The study on composite surfaces gained popularity since the last decade. The composite shell problems for complex forms are difficult to solve analytically. Hence, the numerical solutions became popular. The invent of fast computers popularized the numerical approaches further among practicing engineers. Thin shell surfaces are widely popular to cover long unsupported spans in civil engineering; however, these are vulnerable to instability especially under transverse overloading. The stiffened surfaces addressed such problems. The detailed review on bare and stiffened surfaces highlights gaps in literature which can help the researchers to find out scopes of future research problems.
