Laminates Module
- The Classical Laminate Theory assumptions lie at the core of the solution.
- Layer properties can be input by the user, or selected from the synthesised database, or a combination.
- Core materials (foams, honeycombs) can be included for effective sandwich configurations.
- Thermo-elastic properties are predicted.
- Full 3D mechanical properties for the laminate.
- Full ply failure sequence is calculated for in-plane tensile, compressive and shear loads, taking into account stiffness reduction upon failure.
- Thermal, Hygroscopic and Mechanical loadings are supported. Their effects can be viewed in isolation instantly.
- Failure criterion, following experimental validation, is Tsai-Wu.
