  1. Constitutive modeling for time- and temperature-dependent behavior of composites

    08 Jan 2020

    Structural integrity, durability, and thermal stability represent critical areas for adequately modeling the behavior of composite materials. Polymeric matrices are prone to have time-dependent behavior very sensitive to changes in temperature that influence the effective properties of the...

  2. MSC.Patran/Nastran-SwiftComp GUI

    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...

  3. 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.

  7. HyperSizer for Composites: Insanely Fast Laminate Optimization

    28 May 2014 | Tool Information

    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...

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

    28 May 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...

  9. Variational Asymptotic Modeling of Composite Dimensionally Reducible Structures

    28 May 2014 | Publications

    This is Prof. Yu's PhD dissertation. In this disseration, the variational asymptotic method has be used to provide a systematic, holistic, and rigorous approach to construct efficient yet accurate models for composite beams, plates, and shells.
