MSC.Patran/Nastran-SwiftComp GUI

01 Apr 2019

A graphical user interface (GUI) has been developed to integrate SwiftComp into MSC.Patran/Nastran for constitutive modeling and providing the automated conversion of the MSG plate and beam stiffness matrix into MSC.Nastran shell and beam element properties and materials. In order to reduce...

MUL2-UC Beam modeling of periodically heterogeneous composites

13 Jun 2017

The micromechanics code MUL2-UC is developed to work as an efficient and high-fidelity tool for the computation of the effective stiffness matrix and the recovering of the local fields of periodically heterogeneous composite structures. The main novelty is that higher-order beam theories are...

Multiscale Modeling of Damage Mechanics of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites From Micro- to Macroscale: The (Virtual) Reality and Challenges Ahead

13 May 2022 | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell

Multi-scale modelling of composites is a very active topic in composites science. This is illustrated by the numerous sessions in the recent European and International Conferences on Composite Materials, but also by the fast developments in multi-scale modelling software tools, developed by large...

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,...
