  1. Keith Kedward and Composites Design (Slides)

    22 Sep 2014

    Professor Byron Pipes' slides from the 2014 ASC meeting at UCSD discussing Keith Kedward and Composites Design

  2. Puck Failure Criteria

    31 Jul 2017

    Composite materials have been established as competitive materials during the last few decades due to their high strength to l ow weight ratio among other advantages and are widely used in many industries. A recent study has found that the industrial usage of composite failure...

  3. Skill of Using Surface Element in ANSYS

    26 Mar 2015 | Downloads

    Dear All, For those ANSYS users, please check the attached skill of using surface element, “Surface_Effect_Elements.pdf”, to apply the surface tangent traction. It works well for homogenization simulations, and also for some beams structure validations. This attached zip file also...

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

    29 Nov 2014 | Publications

    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 the necessary information to link materials genome and...

  5. TexGen4SC

    14 Feb 2014 | Tools

    Modeling of woven fabric composites generated by TexGen using SwiftComp

  6. TexGen4SC Tutorial #1: Homogenization Analysis of Textile Composites with Arbitrary Inter-ply Shifts

    14 Feb 2014 | Downloads

    This tutorial shows how to use TexGen4SC to perform homogenization analysis of textile composites with arbitrary inter-ply shifts. A companion video is available on YouTube. TexGen4SC can be launched directly from https://cdmhub.org/tools/texgen4sc. A python script for the...

  7. The Mission, Vision and Programs of the Composites Design and Manufacturing HUB

    28 May 2014 | Teaching Materials

    The presentation outlines the mission, vision and programs of the Composites Design and Manufacturing HUB as of October 2014.

  8. Variational Asymptotic Modeling of Composite Dimensionally Reducible Structures

    28 May 2014 | Publications

    This is Prof. Yu's PhD dissertation. In this disseration, the variational asymptotic method has be used to provide a systematic, holistic, and rigorous approach to construct efficient yet accurate models for composite beams, plates, and shells.  

  9. VUMAT of a Generalized Standard Continuum Damage Model

    13 Apr 2018 | Downloads

    Based on a recently developed generalized standard continuum damage model (CDM), this VUMAT user subroutine provides a rigorous and robust framework for implementing various damage behavior into 2D or 3D solid elements in a finite element analysis (FEA). It is designed to be used with...

  10. Woven fabrics UMAT- a coupled material model

    02 Aug 2017 | Downloads

    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...
