A collection of Matlab files is available to build and analyse a square laminated plate which is subjected to boundary loads.
Additionally, there are files for the optimization of - again square - laminated plates.

You can find the complete repository here.
Use gitzip to download individual directories or files.

Some files are available through the following links:

• Theoretical background (not yet about optimization)
  • Linear plate bending theory
  • Laminate theory

• Documentation for the programm.
  • Tutorial

• Program files can be found in this repo directory
  • lamprg

• Input files can be found in this repo directory:
  • laminp
  • lamopt

• Demo's can be executed; the commands are in the next files: (Past then in the Matlab/octave shell)
  • runlam.mm
  • runlamopt.mm

Effective composite properties of a lamina can be calculated.
Matlab m-files are available in the directory 'effprop'.
Here you also find a file - effrun.mm - with examples, which can be past into the matlab (or octave) shell.
