  1. PreVABS

    4.0 out of 5 stars 

    16 Nov 2017 | Contributor(s): Nikki Huang

    PreVABS is a pre-processing tool for VABS and SwiftComp. This tool is designed to reduce the workload of preparing input files of beam cross sections for VABS and SwiftComp, and to make the process automatic for the design and optimization purpose. Cross sections with general and...

  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

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    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

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    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...

    Simulate the creep and stress relaxation of a uni-directional short-fiber composite.

  11. Woven fabrics UMAT- a coupled material model

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    02 Jun 2024 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Ali Roumani

    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...
