Orthotropic Plate Rescaling

This simulation takes information about an orthotropic laminate plate affected by an impact mass M and recalculates its equivalent quasi-isotropic plate. It also displays if the impact is to be considered a small mass or a large mass impact. The models currently implemented here are best suited for small mass impacts.
