  1. Puck Failure Criteria

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    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...

  2. Recent Developments in Computational Approaches to Model Laminated Composite Shells and Damage and Fracture in Solids

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    16 Feb 2021 | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell

    In this lecture, two different topics of considerable interest to composite materials and structural mechanics communities are discussed. The first topic deals with the development of locking-free shell finite elements with thickness stretch for the nonlinear analysis of isotropic and laminated...

  3. Rheology of Carbon Fiber Thermoplastic Polymer Composites

    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...

  5. Structural Self-sensing Based on Measuring the Resistance, Capacitance or Inductance of the Structural <aterial, Without Sensor Incorporation

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    06 Nov 2023 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell

    Structural self-sensing refers to a structural material sensing itself without sensor incorporation. Compared to sensor incorporation, advantages include low cost, high durability, large sensing volume and the mechanical properties being not degraded. The self-sensing ability makes the structural...

    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...

  9. The Challenges of Determining the Strength of Composites

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    24 Nov 2020 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell

    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...
