Abstract — Laminated composite material have found extensive application in the mechanical, aerospace, marine, automotive industry due to their high fatigue life and high strength to weight ratio. Predication of the failure of composite laminate structure, mathematical modelling, finite element analysis of composite laminate and load that can laminate take have become an important topic of research and has drawn close attention in recent year. Accurate prediction of failure of composite laminate structure has become more challenging to design due to non-isotropic and non linear material property. This paper presents literature review on modelling and finite element analysis of composite laminate plate. The literature review is devoted to the different finite element method based on the various laminated plate theories
