Multiscale analysis of multilayer printed circuit board using Mechanics of Structure Genome
23 Jan 2019
The structure of Printed Circuit board (PCB) is very complicated because it consists of woven composites and custom defined conducting layers. To improve the reliability of PCB, it is critical to predict the constitutive relations accurately. This study by implementing Mechanics of Structure...

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...

Woven fabrics UMAT- a coupled material model
29 Aug 2024 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Ali Roumani
One of the advantages of woven fabrics over unidirectional prepregs is their superior formability thanks to the large shear deformation capability. There exists, however, a limit on the shear deformation of woven fabrics, namely the wrinkling. Applying tension to delay wrinkling during forming...
