I have a composite glass stair tread supported at the corners with the following layers:
8mm Annealed Glass
1.52mm DuPont SentryGlas Plus Interlayer
15mm Annealed Glass
1.52mm DuPont SentryGlas Plus Interlayer
15mm Annealed Glass
1.52mm DuPont SentryGlas Plus Interlayer
8mm Annealed Glass
Total Thickness=50.56mm

What is the best way to analyze this composite material? Is there particular programs that are required to analyze this? Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

Thank you,
