| Summary: | LEADME (Laminate Analysis and Design Made Easy), an educational software useful for
the analysis and design of laminated composite structure has been developed. The software
encompasses both the micro and macro mechanics analysis of lamina and laminate. The highlight of
this software is that, apart from usual laminate analysis, the software is capable to solve practical
laminate applications such as analysis of beams and also a design module is included. The software
has been developed using MATLAB-Graphical User Interface (GUI) which makes it very user
friendly. The results obtained from this software have been validated. It is expected that this
software will serve as an educational tool complementing textbooks for students to gain better
understanding of composite structural analysis.
