This volume addresses the growing need to critically reassess classical analytical formulations in light of high-fidelity numerical simulations. The book brings together four complementary studies covering isotropic beams, orthotropic CLT panels, and sandwich composites with discontinuous honeycomb cores. By systematically confronting traditional design models with three-dimensional finite element analyses and updated predictive formulations, the book provides a rigorous evaluation of stiffness estimation methods. Its objective is to contribute to more reliable and rational structural design across both conventional and advanced material systems.
