  1. SwiftComp: Right Results Right Away

    13 May 2015

    This presentation gives a brief review of SwiftComp which is a general-purpose multiscale constitutive modeling code. It can bridge microstructure with the final macroscopic structural model. It takes a FE mesh of Structure Genome, which is defined as the smallest mathematical building block of...

  2. HyperSizer for Composites: Insanely Fast Laminate Optimization

    31 Mar 2015

    95% of users, without user manual, and without instruction, will be able to import their FEM and produce optimum composites laminates that satisfy all analyses to all load cases within the first 10 minutes. Your automatically updated model will have minimum weight and fully producible laminates...

  3. A Critical Assessment of Computer Tools for Calculating Composites Wind Turbine Blade Properties

    16 Mar 2015 | Publications | Contributor(s): Nikki Huang

    The purpose of this paper is to critically assess several computer tools for calculating the inertial and structural properties of wind turbine blades. The theoretical foundation of each tool is briefly summarized, and the advantages and disadvantages of each tool are pointed out. Several...
