Optimum structural design of composites is a research subject that has drawn the attention of many researchers for more than 40 years with a growing interest. In this study, a review of the literature on this subject is presented. The papers are classified according to the type of the composite structure optimized in those studies, the loading conditions, the objective function, the structural analysis method, the design variables, the constraints, the failure criteria, and the search algorithm used by the researchers.
