Methods to calculate composite plate properties

High-performance module to calculate properties of laminated composite materials. Usually, this module is used to calculate:

• A, B, D, E plane-stress stiffness matrices for plates -- A, B, D, for classical plate theory (CLT, or CLPT) -- E for first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT)
• Material invariants, trace-normalized or not
• Lamination parameters based on material invariants
• Stiffness matrices (ABDE) based on lamination parameters
