Computational evaluation of effective stress relaxation behavior of polymer composites
11 Jul 2017 | Contributor(s):: Tian Tang, Sergio D. Felicelli
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...

Structure Genome: Fill the Gap between Materials Genome and Structural Analysis
29 Nov 2014 | Contributor(s):: Wenbin Yu
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...

The Integration of Composite Constituent-Level Failure Models During Composite Size Optimization
25 Nov 2014 | Contributor(s):: Robert N Yancey
A number of structural optimization methods have been applied over the years to aid in the design process for structural components. The design criteria are often based on stress, strain, or displacement allowables that can be easily calculated with any finite element analysis model. For...
