The script:
  1. Takes mechanical properties of a composite material and many orientations as layers to perform the calculation of S and Q (Flexibility & Stiffness) in local axes.
  2. Transforms S & Q matrices for each layer and gets the contributions to the global mechanical properties so the A, B, D matrices are done
Calculations match with the classical laminated theory and were taken from "Hernández M. Hilario, Mario M. Ramos. (2016). Comportamiento mecánico de materiales compuestos poliméricos. Ciudad de México: IPN"
