1. Construct your own laminate by selecting the fibres
and matrices using the above drop-down menus,
2. Repeat 1 to build up a number of plies (k), fibre orientations (θ) and
fibre volume fractions (f)
3. Calculate the elastic constants Ex, Gxy and νxy for
different loading angles.
Recommended stacking sequences: i) 0
  ii) 0 / 90
  iii) 0/45/90/-45.
    Ply angles must be in the range +90° to -90
