Simulating Fiber Metal Laminates

Fiber Metal Laminates are quickly becoming the next generation of composite materials for aircraft structures. As the predictive failure model for Progressive Ply Failure Analysis, a feature in Finite Element Analysis software, Multicontinuum Theory (MCT) is used to explore the benefits of GLARE (Glass Fiber Reinforced Aluminum) laminates over traditional CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced... Read More

Design Engineering Report: Develop Products Faster

The true business case for CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) is contingent on a company’s ability to integrate this technology into the conceptual design phase of its current product development process. Ultimately, this means putting CAE into the hands of design engineers that may only have marginal experience with these technologies. Recent breakthroughs by a few CAE software... Read More
