Modeling Discontinuous Fiber Composites with Improved Accuracy
Composite materials, such as discontinuous carbon, glass or basalt fiber reinforced polymers, are used across a variety of industries for their superior strength and stiffness to weight ratios. Despite physical advantages composites are underutilized and parts are typically overdesigned because their complex non-linear and anisotropic material behavior along with their…
