Analysis of laminated composite members is always a critical phenomenon. To address this issue, the authors developed the six nodes two dimensional refined mixed finite element model (r-MFEM) for accurate analysis of laminated composite beam. This model has transverse stress σ Z and τ xz as primary variables along with displacement u and w . Equilibrium equations are used to refine the variation of primary variables in the formulation. In the present paper, various laminated composite beams have been analysed by the six nodes two-dimensional r-MFEM element to show the model’s versatility. The results obtained has been compared with the other author’s work.
