Description

High-performance module to calculate properties of laminated composite materials. Usually, this module is used to calculate: * A, B, D, E, F, H plane-stress stiffness matrices - A, B, D, for classical plate theory (CLT, or CLPT) - A44, A45, A55 for first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) - E, F, H for third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT) * Material invariants, trace-normalized or not * Lamination parameters based on material invariants * Stiffness matrices (ABD) based on lamination parameters
