MUL2-UC Beam modeling of periodically heterogeneous composites
13 Jun 2017 | Contributor(s):: Alberto Garcia de Miguel
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...

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...
