ABD Laminate Builder

mfile builds shell/plate composite structure (hulls, decking, & body fenders) effect. props.

Program is a MATLAB based thin-layer implementation to determine the laminate ABD matrix, laminate strain, and ply stress profile as well as effective properties of the laminate using thin plate theory. This code is, in essense, a GENLAM clone. Plies should be sequenced from top surface to bottom! The input file is "Infile.dat" and Output file is "Outfile.dat"; lack of an "Input.dat" file will result in the writing of a default file with the formatting and a sample layup; this can then be edited to match the ply-layup of interest.
