  1. Woven fabrics UMAT- a coupled material model

    02 Aug 2017 | 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...

  2. VABS: Powering Simple Beam Elements with Detailed 3D FEA Fidelity

    06 Jan 2017

    This presentation gives a brief introduction to VABS, a general-purpose cross-sectional analysis, which can power conventional, simple beam elements with detailed 3D FEA fidelity. 

  3. Demystifying Composites Simulation for Performance

    28 Jul 2016 | Contributor(s): Ali Roumani

    The presentation given in IACMI Tutorial session before the 2016 Summer Members Meeting. It tried to explain in layman terms modeling and simulation, and composites, pointed out the barriers we need to overcome to reap full benefits of simulation for composites innovation.
