# Content:		This folder contains all data for the first preliminary example
				
				The first preliminary example serves to demonstrate the necessity of the introduced moment
				reduction constraint (MRC). The derived shear correction factor from homogenisation (kappa)
				is plotted vs. the in-plane dimensions of the RVE size. The three proposed boundary conditions
				are compared. 
				pbc - periodic boundary conditions
				sbc - shell boundary conditions
				tbc - traction boundary conditions
				
				Detailed description may be found in [1]
