Information
This is a collection of materials and their relevant properties.
Several analyses allow for the selection of a material,
which will automatically populate relevant fields when selected.
Custom materials can be added to the library.
Please note that values assume the most conservative stock thickness,
severe deviations in thickness may result in inaccuracy.

Lap Joint Doubler
Instructions
Enter the number of stacked layers (# of Plates High) and the number of fasteners + 1 (# of Plates Long).
Then press "Prepare" to generate the input tables.
Enter all properties for the doubler configuration.
Note the thickness can be 0 (blank) for a region where the plate does not extend.
Once everything has been inputted, press "Compute" to calculate loads.
Hover over certain fields for more information.
