PSANAL

Composite Point Stress Analysis


This composite material computer program, PSANAL, is a linear laminate analysis program developed to compute the laminate elastic and thermal properties and the allowable load levels for any combination of applied membrane and bending loads occuring at a point. Mechanically applied loads may consist of three stress resultants and three stress couples, which are assumed to be acting in constant ratio and may be applied in any combination. Individual lamina thermal loads are computed and included in the allowable-load analysis. No restrictions are placed on either laminate balance or symmetry. Both unidirectional "unwoven" tape and pseudo-unidirectional/ bidirectional "woven" fabric prepregs can be accommodated by PSANAL.
