Methods for analysis and design of composites

High-performance module to calculate properties of laminated composite materials. Usually, this module is used to calculate:

  • A, B, D, E plane-stress stiffness matrices for plates

    • A, B, D, for classical plate theory (CLT, or CLPT)
    • E for first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT)

  • Material invariants, trace-normalized or not

  • Lamination parameters based on material invariants

  • Stiffness matrices (ABDE) based on lamination parameters
