  5. VABS: Modeling Composite Beam-like Structures with 3D FEA Fidelity

    06 Feb 2021 | Contributor(s): Nikki Huang

    This presentation was given at Altair Virtual ATCx Composites: https://atcxcomposites.virtual.altair.com/. Variational asymptotic beam section (VABS) is a unique technology continuously funded by the US Army since 1988 and it has become a tool of choice in the helicopter and wind turbine...

  6. iVABS

    19 Nov 2020 | Contributor(s): Nikki Huang

    iVABS (namely integrated VABS), is a design framework for composite slender structures (also called composite beams) such as helicopter rotor blades, wind turbine blades, high aspect ratio wings, bridges, shafts, etc. This framework bundles PreVABS, VABS, GEBT, Dakota, along with msgpi for...

  7. PreVABS

    16 Nov 2017 | Contributor(s): Nikki Huang

    PreVABS is a pre-processing tool for VABS and SwiftComp. This tool is designed to reduce the workload of preparing input files of beam cross sections for VABS and SwiftComp, and to make the process automatic for the design and optimization purpose. Cross sections with general and...

  8. Composite Stiffness Property Prediction

    07 Aug 2017

    Micromechanical models for the composite axial tensile, transverse tensile, and axial shear are combined into one tool with the objective of comparing their effectiveness as property prediction methods.  Rule of mixtures models (ROM) and the composite cylinder model (CCM) results for...

  9. 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...

  13. Computational evaluation of effective stress relaxation behavior of polymer composites

    11 Jul 2017

    This paper presents a micromechanics model to characterize the effective stress relaxationstiffness of polymer composites. The linear viscoelastic behavior of polymer material wasmodeled by hereditary integral. The proposed model was established based on thevariational asymptotic method for unit...

  14. MUL2-UC Beam modeling of periodically heterogeneous composites

    13 Jun 2017

    The micromechanics code MUL2-UC is developed to work as an efficient and high-fidelity tool for the computation of the effective stiffness matrix and the recovering of the local fields of periodically heterogeneous composite structures. The main novelty is that higher-order beam theories are...
