  1. Multiscale analysis of multilayer printed circuit board using Mechanics of Structure Genome

    23 Jan 2019

    The structure of Printed Circuit board (PCB) is very complicated because it consists of woven composites and custom defined conducting layers. To improve the reliability of PCB, it is critical to predict the constitutive relations accurately. This study by implementing Mechanics of Structure...

  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. Abaqus plugins for Nonlinear Acoustics

    06 Jul 2017

    This paper introduces generalized tools in the form of plugins for a commonly used commercial finite element package Abaqus/Standard to model the nonlinear acoustic methods for detection of delamination damage in composite laminates. The nonlinear acoustic methods typically involve exciting a...
