Software
To implement the formulae of classical laminate theory, I have developed a series of tools. Some novol formulae, which I derived for specific calculation, are also integrated in the tools, such as the equation to calculate the transverse Poisson ratio of composites. These tools are also available to process the experimental data.
Composite calculator 2D
This software was developed to inplement CLT formulae (2D stress tensor transformation). It was complied by MATLAB 2013, 64bit. To run the software, you will need a MCR 8.1 which can be download from www.mathworks.com. The user guide including the code is also packed.
