LamAn Description:

LamAn is a very basic software tool for the laminate analysis. Solution algorithm of stress analysis is based on the Classical Laminate Theory.
LamAn can be used as a low level design tool by engineers and students due to the following features:
- complicated laminate lay-up without limitation on number of plies is allowed;
- complicated loading can be applied on laminate: mechanical forces and moments, loading through environmental conditions (temperature and humidity);
- only thermo-elastic constants of the UD composite are needed as input data, number of different materials is not limited;
- stresses and strains in plies, stiffness and compliance matrices as well as thermo-elastic constants of the laminate are calculated;

- thermal and hygro effects are taken into account and separated (mechanical, thermal, hygro) or total stress-strain components can be obtained.
