Coefficients of thermal expansion

Laminate equivalent coefficients of thermal distortion can also be defined according to the following equations:

Membrane Behavior

Bending Behavior

Bending-Membrane Coupling

For membrane-bending coupling behavior, the coefficients of thermal expansion are not directly computed. Rather, the expressions Gα are computed and exported to the NASTRAN MAT2 card:
