Create a computer program that will use the laminated plate theory (LPT) equations to calculate the A, B, and D stiffness matrices and the a, b, c, d compliance matrices for a laminate. Show evidence that your program is working by recalculating the matrices for [0/130/90] AS4/3501-6 carbon/epoxy (pp. 166-167), and solving problems 7.8, 7.9, 7.23 from the textbook..

Note: You will use this program to solve subsequent homework problems to calculate

strains and stresses in each ply in the fiber directions, and to perform failure analysis

when the laminate is subjected to forces and moments.
