The Laminator is an engineering program that analyzes laminated composite plates according to classical laminated plate theory. Input consists of ply material properties, material strengths, ply fiber orientation and stacking sequence, mechanical loads and/or strains, and temperature and moisture loads. Output consists of apparent laminate material properties, ply stiffness and compliance matrices, laminate "ABD" matrices, laminate loads and midplane strains, ply stresses and strains in global and material axes, and load factors for ply failure based on Tsai-Hill, Hoffman, and Tsai-Wu failure theories. This updated version has added enhancements and minor bug fixes. New version adds the option to display/print either total or effective strains. Adds Maximum Strain failure criterion for ply failure analysis.Makes minor modifications to the analysis output format...
