Structure Genome: Fill the Gap between Materials Genome and Structural Analysis
29 Nov 2014 | Contributor(s): Wenbin Yu
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...

Tensile Properties of a Stochastic Prepreg Platelet Molded Composite
17 Jul 2019 | Publications | Contributor(s): Sergey Kravchenko, Drew Sommer, Benjamin Denos, Tony Favaloro, Byron Pipes, William Avery, Clark Tow
The stochastic prepreg platelet molded composite (PPMC) occurs when the orientation and arrangement disorder of platelets are determined by the uncontrolled molding conditions. The understanding of composite structure-property relationship is essential for the engineering applications of PPMCs....

The Best 3D Properties of Composite Laminates
14 Nov 2016 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Orzuri Rique Garaizar, Johnathan Goodsell, Wenbin Yu, Byron Pipes
This presentation is given on ASME IMECE 2016 in Phoenix Arizona. Because composite layers are usually very thin (in the order of hundreds of microns), real composites part are usually made of dozens of or even hundreds of layers. It is difficult to provide a layer by layer modeling of...

The Challenges of Determining the Strength of Composites
24 Nov 2020 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Michael R Wisnom
Why are there such large differences in reported strengths of composites? Some of the reasons are the definition of strength, material variability, poor test methods, and subtle variations in carrying out the tests. But there are other important factors that affect strength that are not...
