Automatic analysis of thin-walled laminated composite sections
A. Prokić, D. Lukić and Dj. Ladjinović
Abstract
In this paper a computer program is developed for the determination of geometrical and material properties of composite thin-walled beams with arbitrary open cross-section and any arbitrary laminate stacking sequence. Theory of thin-walled composite beams is based on assumptions consistent with the Vlasov's beam theory and classical lamination theory. The program is written in Fortran 77. Some numerical examples are given, with complete information about input and output.
Key Words
thin-walled composite beam; open section; computer program; classical lamination theory; arbitrary lamination
