This lecture covers Classical Laminate Theory, which is used to solve mechanics problems involving laminates composed of multiple thin layers of materials. The theory extends Kirchhoff-Love Plate Theory and considers assumptions like homogeneous plies, perfectly bonded interfaces, and different ply stiffness. It discusses the analysis of laminates in terms of displacements, strains, stresses, equilibrium, and final solutions. The lecture also explains the Ply Orientation Code for different types of laminates and the response of special laminates to various loading conditions.
