Steps:
1. Reduced stiffness matrix for lamina 2. Find co-ordinates for lamina (thickness, top and bottom surface locations) 3. Find [A] , [B] and [D] matrices from previously derives equations

4. Substitute these values in derived [6X6] matrix

5. Find mid-plane strains and curvatures 6. Find global strains 7. Find local strains 8. Find local stresses
