Abstract The in-plane mechanical properties of FMLs have been described with methods ranging from simple engineering methods to scientific laminated plate theories. This chapter describes the current understanding of stress and strain in FMLs, explaining the laminated plate theories adapted for the different thermal expansion properties of both metal and composites, and the plasticity induced by the metallic constituent. The application and limitations of the various methods are addressed.
