Abstract
The computation of parameters for symmetric laminates involves
series of tedious calculations for both in-plane and
flexural properties. In order to alleviate the magnitude
and conplexi J-y of calculations for complicated symmetric laminates,
the program of this report was designed for a commercially
available microcomputer, the Hewlett-Packard
HP-87, and is based for the most part or. program logic developed
by the Mr Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratories
for the TI-59 handheld prcgramma bis calculator. Program logic is explained in detail with flowcharts and a full listing cf the program is included. A description of the program logic provides the user with a comprehensive
explanation of program operation.
