Practical Developments in Multiscale Modeling of Composites

07 Apr 2021 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell

Validated models (be they data driven or physics based) can accelerate the design, certification, and ultimate deployment of novel materials and structures by allowing rapid iteration and virtual experimentation while at the same time minimizing the need for expensive and time consuming physical...

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

16 Feb 2021 | Online Presentations | 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...

Rheology of Carbon Fiber Thermoplastic Polymer Composites

26 Apr 2021 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell

The rheology of fiber–reinforced thermoplastic composites will be presented with specific focus on several topics studied over the past three decades. Interest in the elongational viscosity of collimated, discontinuous fiber systems was initiated by the introduction of impregnated,...

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

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...

Sustainable Manufacturing of Composite Materials

21 May 2021 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell

The growing use of composite materials in aerospace, transportation, recreational products and renewable energy production manufacturing has created a critical need for low-cost sustainable manufacturing methods. The current methods of consolidation and cure are not compatible with the projected...

The Challenges of Determining the Strength of Composites

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...
