This paper presents the description of a web-based computer program for the analysis of laminated composites using Classical Lamination Theory. The program was developed using an object-oriented programming methodology, Java, and runs from any web page. The program is intended for educational purposes, but it can also be used in industry. It is currently used in a mechanics of composites course taught at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. The response from the students after using the program has been very positive and encouraging. The students primarily complement the program’s interface, which is very user-friendly. Furthermore, the program is practical and can be used to compute the stresses and strains in any laminated composites. The main objective of the paper is to present the program to other potential users in academia and industry.
