Abstract: Over the last 20 years, the application of composite structures across many industrial sectors has gradually increased. In this context, the knowledge of the mechanical behavior of multiphase materials is required. Then, research on macro-, meso-, and multiscale approaches is very important for improving the accuracy of models for predicting effective mechanical properties and for developing a better understanding of complex phenomena such as progressive damage, creep, and fatigue. Due to these necessities, this research is a synthesis of fundamentals and advanced topics in global modeling of laminated composite structures, layerwise analyses, and micromacromechanical models, in which the main fiber, matrix, interface, and damage characteristics are studied and used in the macroscale approach. A more detailed physical and mathematical description of the models is proposed, rather than general and vague reviews typically found in the specific literature. At the end of this work, a trend analysis and concluding remarks are presented based on the consulted topics; in other words, expectations regarding trends and future research are outlined. In addition, final comments reflecting essential conclusions are made.
