Laminated composite structures with their properties such as high specific strength, low self-weight and high stiffness to weight ratio along with their design flexibility made them widely used in the field of manufacturing of aircraft, structural engineering, aerospace and other engineering field. But the analysis of behaviour of laminated composite structures is very difficult due to their layered structural arrangement. In this study, 3-D finite element based model for the analysis of laminated composite and sandwich structures are developed using ABAQUS software and the behaviour of the model under different thermal stress condition along with various conditions such as aspect ratio thickness ratio and boundary condition is analysed.
