POLYMER COMPOSITES

	MIXTURE ANALYSIS MODULES: CSM: Combines the baseline material properties of the fibres,resins and fillers, using "Modified Rule of Mixtures" formulae to give composite material properties. Suitable for CSM, Static and Fatigue properties calculated.
	LAID DOOWN PLY THICKNESS Given the GSM, the Density of the material and the Volume Fraction, the Laid down ply thickness is calculated. These properties may then be used in the following MSAMs module.
	ESTIMATED EQUIVALENT MODULUS AND LONGITUDINAL STREMGTH Calculate the Laminates Estimated Youngs Equivalnet modules, Longitudinal Strength and Laid down ply thickness. The approach is based on stiffness analysis. The results from the MSAMs module should be noted and then used in the following SLAMs module.

TMCs, HTCL and METAL MATRIX

	DISCONTINUUS ALIGNED REINFORCED MATRIX MODULES. Suitable for DISCONTINUUS ALIGNED SHORT fibres (50um~) Combines the baseline material properties of the fibres, Matrix and fillers, using "Modified Rule of Mixtures" formulae to give composite material properties. Static and Fatigue properties calculated.
	HYBRID TITANIUM CARBON LAMINATES Calculate the Laminates estimated Youngs Equivalnt modules, Longitudinal Strength and Laid down ply thickness. The approach is based on thickness analysis. The results from the HTCL module should be noted and then used in the following SLAMs module.
	TITANIUM MATRIX ANALYSIS MODULES Combines the baseline Silicaon Carbide material properties of the fibres and Matrix to give composite material properties.
	DISCONTINUOUS NON-ALIGNED REINFORCED MATRIX MODULES Suitable for DISCONTINUOUS NON-ALIGNED SHORT fibres. Combines the baseline material properties of the fibres, Matrix and fillers, using "Modified Rule of Mixtures" formulae to give compositr material properties. Static and Fatigue properties calculated.

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS MODULES

Examines Monolithic Composite and/or Sandwich Beam/Panels of different load and Boundary conditions. A sectionof core types and associated properties are available. The following information is calculated: Structural Reserve Factors for composite Skin and Core Material. Weight of Structural component
