Macromechanics-Intact Material-Stiffness Equations

The Stiffness Equations page calculates the [A], [B], [D], and [H] matrices, which can be output to Excel, and allows the user to calculate stress resultants by entering strains and curvatures. That is, the page allows the user to perform the calculations in Eq. (6.15) in the textbook for any laminate that is stored in the user's database. This is ideal to explore the response of different laminates to applied strain and curvature.
