Methods to calculate composite plate properties
===============================================
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
