The aim of this study is developing a new algorithm to design fiber angle and layer number of laminated composite plates. In this algorithm, fiber angles are determined using stress values and layer numbers are determined using maximum stress failure theory. Different design domains are used under different loading conditions and results are investigated to show the performance of the algorithm. Design time of composite materials is decreased and design performance is increased using this algorithm. More effective materials can be developed with respect to different loading conditions.
