The Braided Composite App is a tool for the design and manufacturing of braided composites. The app can also be used as teaching/ educational tool for braided composite materials. This app has been designed as a supplemental resource for Handbook of Advances in 2D and 3D Braided Composite Materials: Theory, Production, Testing and Applications, Carey JP (Ed), Woodhead Publishing, 2016.

Features:
-Micro-mechanics calculations for unidirectional lamina
-Strength prediction for unidirectional lamina
-Coordinate system transformation matrix used for angle lamina
-Key braided composite manufacturing prediction equations
-Braid Angle measurement 
-Braid machine configurations to produce the three fundamental braiding patterns: Diamond, Regular and Hercules
