Write a computer program to compute the A, B and D matrices

 

Write a computer program to compute the A, B and D matrices for an arbitrarily stacked laminate having layers of different but uniform thickness. Have an option to have some layers made of a different material. To check your program, compute the A, B and D matrices for the following cases: a) A symmetric laminate (+45/-45/0/0/-45/+45) - each layer is 0.15 mm thick and uniform. Use the same Q matrix for the example in class. b) Same as above, but non-symmetric stacking (+45/-45/0/+45/-45/0). c) A laminate with two materials where all the layers at +45 are made of a material with a new Q matrix, and the rest of the layers are made of the same material as in cases a) and b). Compute the matrices for the same stacking sequences used in a) and b). For the 45 deg. Q matrix: [10 2.3 0 Q+45= = 2.3 1 0 GPa 0 0 0.5]
