Coverage status:
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
