Overview
This MATLAB software toolset was developed for use in solving the example and exercises provided in the book entitled "Practical Micromechanics of Composite Materials" , authored by Prof. J Aboudi, S. M. Arnold and B.A. Bednarcyk. The MATLAB scripts and functions calculate composite effective properties, margins of safety, and progressive damage of unidirectional and/or composite laminates using classical ply-based lamination theory, stand-alone micromechanics theories (such as Mori-Tanka, MOC,GMC, HFGMC along with failure theories and margin of safety calculations) or micromechanics-based classical lamination theory to illustrate their utility for the design and analysis of advanced composites.
