TI-59 Magnetic Card Calculator Solutions to Composite Materials Formulas.

Abstract

This volume contains the description and instructions of magnetic cards for TI-59 programmable calculators. These tapes contain the key calculations of the stiffness and strength of unidirectional and symmetrically laminated composites. Both in-plane and flexural loadings can be applied. The initial stress and strain due to curing and moisture adsorption are also included in the strength calculation. With the aid of the magnetic cards, instant calculations can be made for practical use. The use of cards is also an effective teaching tool. The formulas used in the cards have been derived in another AFML report, entitled, 'Introduction to Composite Materials', AFML-TR-78-201. (Author)
