  1. Adaptive Multi-Scale & Multi-Fidelity Progressive Failure Analysis of Composites

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    14 Nov 2022

    Although high-fidelity modeling of progressive damage has advanced our understanding of failure mechanisms in fibre-reinforced composites, such techniques are currently still too computationally intensive for direct application to composite structures. The multi-scale nature of damage in...

  2. Practical Developments in Multiscale Modeling of Composites

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    07 Apr 2021

    Validated models (be they data driven or physics based) can accelerate the design, certification, and ultimate deployment of novel materials and structures by allowing rapid iteration and virtual experimentation while at the same time minimizing the need for expensive and time consuming physical...

  3. MSC.Patran/Nastran-SwiftComp GUI

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    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...

  12. Structure Genome: Fill the Gap between Materials Genome and Structural Analysis

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    14 Aug 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...
