GENOA Live Tutorial
Evaluate Where, When and
Why Failure Occurs in Composite Structural Components Using GENOA
Durability & Damage Tolerance (D&DT) of composite structural components is an important task that several aerospace, automotive and other industries have to go through to ensure reliability. Traditionally, analyses are performed using homogenized ply properties. The results, however, do not predict the test because of highly heterogeneous nature of the composite plies. GENOA D&DT Software package utilizes micro-mechanics while considering uncertainties including effect of defects based methodology and empowers commercial FE solvers with several in-built specialized capabilities. The focus of the software package is to help engineers minimize testing (small to large scale) without the loss in accuracy. Score of applications have been verified against several classes (glass, carbon, etc.,) of composites.
Join the web conference on July 18th 2013 for quick start tutorial on how to navigate in GENOA and perform D&DT analysis. The demonstration will center on the following:
1) Navigate in GENOA: In-built ASTM standard coupon, test validation cases, material library, etc.,
2) Test Validated Case Study: Composite structural components D&DT analysis; Importing/Editing FE models; output shows damage evolution up to final failure including a) matrix micro-cracks, b) fiber and matrix damage, c) delamination type initiation/growth, and d) contributing modes of damage.
