Thanks for the info. I've installed the eLamX2 program. Looks good but does not seem to answer my question about ILSS. Like most programs I've investigated it seems to be based around CLPT.
I have a laminated plate which is being loaded with out of plane bending so I'm concerned about...
Does anyone know of a program eg mathcad or excel, to calculate the interlaminar shear stresses on a composite laminate? I want to avoid going to a FEM solution if possible. Thanks
I'm trying to find the displacements of the centre of an access cover relative to the fixings around it's edge. The access cover is modelled on a FEM of the full wingbox but my problem is the deflection caused by global wing bending 'swamp' the local deflections on the access panel. How can I...

I'm trying to design a section of aircraft structure that bolts an aluminium panel (secondary structure) to a carbon composite panel (primary structure). There is the need to account for extreme hot & cold temperatures and this is generating large thermal stresses and bolt loads dur to the...
Does anyone know of a good method or program to allow me to calculate the MS (or RF) for a bolted joint in a composite structure? I have a multi bolt joint between two sheets that I need to check for all possible failure modes (eg bearing, bearing/bypass, shear-out etc etc) considering the bolt...
