Double-Double Laminate Finder
Description
This dataset is supplementary material for the following paper: Peyman Shabani, Lucy Li, and Jeremy Laliberte. "Low-velocity impact (LVI) and compression after impact (CAI) of Double-Double composite laminates." Composite Structures (2024): 118615. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2024.118615 The Double-Double Laminate Finder is a computer tool developed based on Classical Lamination Theory (CLT) to find Double-Double (DD) composite layups that are equivalent in in-plane stiffness [A] or flexural stiffness [D] to conventional quadriaxial (QUAD) layups. This tool can also be used to evaluate material homogenization conditions, determine the optimal DD stacking sequence for homogenization, and indicate the QUAD and DD layups in the in-plane and flexural design range plots. The code is written in Python and runs on computers using the Windows operating system. Link to GitHub repository of this tool: https://github.com/Lich-NRC/DoubleDoubleCompDesign
