Hi All,
the code below is running, HOWEVER the results are incorrect,
My condition in while is running but with wrong numbers, anyone help ??
My while condition is to get the factor results greater than 1 and smaller or equal to 1.5 HOWEVER, the results are factor =
1.0e+03 *
0.0105 2.4436
Please anyone help !!!
clearvars;
close all;
clc;
syms s real;
rr=0;
factor=[0 0]
while all(factor)>1||all(factor)<=1.5
factor=[0 0]
angle_pss=[0 45 -45 30 90;45 -45 45 90 30];
thick_pss=[.125 .15 .25 .5 1;.125 .15 .25 .5 1];
rr=rr+1
% STEP ONE
E1=1.4e3;E2=1.4e3;G12=.53e3;v12=.35;
if rr>length(angle_pss)
return
end
angle=angle_pss(:,rr)';
thickness=thick_pss(:,rr)';
% STEP TWO
S=q_cal(angle,E1,E2,G12,v12);
% STEP THREE
sigma1_c=1500; sigma2_c=246; sigma1_t=1500; sigma2_t=40; tau_12=68;
H1=(1/sigma1_t) - (1/sigma1_c); H11= 1/(sigma1_t*sigma1_c); H2=(1/sigma2_t) - (1/sigma2_c); H22=1/(sigma2_t*sigma2_c); H6=0; H66=1/(tau_12)^2;
H12=-1/2*sqrt(1/(sigma1_t*sigma1_c*sigma2_t*sigma2_c));
% STEP FOUR
[T_zinv,T_z_,Q_tran]=q_tran_cal(angle,S);
% STEP FIVE
Z=h_mid(angle,thickness);
% STEP SIX
[A,B,D]=abd_cal(angle,Z,Q_tran);
% STEP SEVEN

F=[0;0;0;0;0;10]; % ADD APPLIED FORCES HERE
%F=[N_x;N_y;N_xy;M_x;M_y;M_xy;]
E=M\F; % STRAIN % inv(M)*F
e=E(1:3);
k=E(4:end); % curvature
% STEP EIGHT
[sigmal_t,sigmal_m,sigmal_b]=stress_strain_cal(angle,e,Z,k,Q_tran,thickness,T_zinv,T_z_);
% STEPNINE
tsai_wu=zeros(2,1,length(angle));
for i=1:length(angle)
tsai_wu(:,:,i)=double(solve((H1*sigmal_t(1,:,i)+H2*sigmal_t(2,:,i)+H6*sigmal_t(3,:,i))*s...
+(H11*sigmal_t(1,:,i)^2+H22*sigmal_t(2,:,i)^2+H66*(sigmal_t(3,:,i)^2)+2*H12*sigmal_t(1,:,i)*sigmal_t(2,:,i))*s^2==1,s))
tsai_w=tsai_wu(find(tsai_wu(:,:,i)>0),:,i)
factor(i)=tsai_w
end
thickness
angle
end

The correct condition for while-loop is
while ~(all(factor>1) && all(factor<=1.5))
apart from that, there seems to be some other issue with the program logic, which never creates 'factor' fulfilling this condition.

@ ameer,
Thanks again!
But are you asking for the chart of the program ?, like what I want to do ?? I could attach a chart of that ...\Also I am asking did you say, factor vector never created or never fulfills the condition ??\
Looking to hearing from you

Yes, I meant that the condition
~(all(factor>1) && all(factor<=1.5))
never become true. What do you expect to happen when this condition never becomes true?
