Abstract: Progressive damage and fracture of large shell structures is investigated. A computer model is used for the assessment of structural response, progressive fracture resistance, and defect/damage ...

Abstract: A computational simulation procedure is described for the coupled response of multilayered multimaterial composite engine structural components that are subjected to simultaneous multidisciplinary ...

Abstract: An investigation was conducted to determine the feasibility of superhybrid composite blades for meeting the mechanical design and impact resistance requirements of large fan blades for aircraft ...

Abstract: A computer code, HITCAN (High Temperature Composite Analyzer) has been developed to analyze/design hot metal matrix composite structures. HITCAN is a general purpose code for predicting the global ...
