Rotation of Composites ABD matrix

Submitted by schuffe on

Hi everybody,

i want to create polar plots of the engineering constants E1,E2,... for a given ABD matrix of the laminate.

Without working on the ply angles (and therefore creating the ABD matrix again), can one rotate the ABD matrix directly

for example by a rotation matrix?

 

Any link would be apprecihated. Thanks,

schuffe
