Abstract (EN): A review on works that investigate the mechanical behaviour of variable stiffness composite laminated panels is carried out in this paper. The review mostly focuses on buckling, failure and vibrations in laminates reinforced by curvilinear fibres, although other issues related to variable stiffness laminates are also addressed. The peculiarities in the formulation of curvilinear fibre reinforced plates are briefly described. As an illustration, the natural frequencies of vibration of variable stiffness composite laminated plates with curvilinear fibres are computed by an h-version type finite element code and are compared with the ones calculated using another model, based on a Third-order Shear Deformation Theory. Areas of research to explore on variable stiffness composite laminates are suggested.
