I created a MATLAB script to determine the stiffness matrix, compliance matrix, stresses, and strains of a laminate with varying layers, fiber directions, materials, and volume fractions.

This script was verified by creating laminates and testing samples on a universal tensile machine (UTM). The UTM collected data on the force and elongation of the sample. I also used film strain gauges to measure the strain at a given point on the sample.
