  1. Mechanics of Structure Genome: Fill the Gap between Materials Genome and Structural Analysis

    18 May 2016

    This is the presentation given as a Purdue Solid Mechanics Seminar on 5/18/2016. It summarizes the most recent devleopments up to the time of presentation. 

  2. A Unified Theory for Constitutive Modeling of Composites

    18 Apr 2016

    A unified theory for multiscale constitutive modeling of composites is developed using the concept of structure genomes. Generalized from the concept of the representative volume element, a structure genome is defined as the smallest mathematical building block of a structure. Structure...

  3. Mechanics of Structure Genome: Reproduce 3D FEA Using Simple Structural Models for Aero Structures

    10 Sep 2015

    This presentation is an extended lecture delivered to the Boeing FEA Community of Excellence on Sept 10th.The Mechanics of Structure Genome (MSG) has been recently developed at Purdue with the promise to revolutionize the analysis of composite structures. MSG can reproduce 3D FEA using simple...

  5. ABAQUS-VABS GUI

    29 Jun 2015 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Nikki Huang

    A Python script used to convert the input file generated by ABAQUS for VABS, a detailed step-by-step instruction using ABAQUS CAE to generate a simple beam section (composite anisotropic pipe)  is also given. Python scripts for generating more complex sections such as real...

  6. SwiftComp: Right Results Right Away

    13 May 2015 | Online Presentations

    This presentation gives a brief review of SwiftComp which is a general-purpose multiscale constitutive modeling code. It can bridge microstructure with the final macroscopic structural model. It takes a FE mesh of Structure Genome, which is defined as the smallest mathematical building block of...

  7. A Critical Assessment of Computer Tools for Calculating Composites Wind Turbine Blade Properties

    16 Mar 2015 | Publications | Contributor(s): Nikki Huang

    The purpose of this paper is to critically assess several computer tools for calculating the inertial and structural properties of wind turbine blades. The theoretical foundation of each tool is briefly summarized, and the advantages and disadvantages of each tool are pointed out. Several...

  8. Structure Genome: Fill the Gap between Materials Genome and Structural Analysis

    06 Jan 2015 | Online Presentations

    This presentation is given at 2015 AIAA SciTech conference. A new concept, Structure Genome (SG), is proposed to fill the gap between materials genome and structural analysis. SG acts as the basic building block of the structure connecting materials to structures and the mechanics of SG governs...
