FEA analysis predicts composite delamination.Popular finite-element structural analysis software has a new add-on capability for predicting composite delamination delamination /de·lam·i·na·tion/ (de-lam?i-na´shun) separation into layers, as of the blastoderm. de·lam·i·na·tion n. 1. A splitting or separation into layers. 2. , fracture, and failure under load. Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT VCCT Virtual Crack Closure Technique VCCT Virtual Combat Convoy Trainer (US Army) VCCT Voluntary and Confidential Counseling and Testing VCCT Vancouver College of Counsellor Training VCCT Virtual Component Cluster Test ) simulation technology developed by Boeing is available as an integrated part of Abaqus Version 6.5 FEA (Finite Element Analysis) A mathematical technique for analyzing stress, which breaks down a physical structure into substructures called "finite elements." The finite elements and their interrelationships are converted into equation form and solved mathematically. software fro Abaqus, Inc ABAQUS, Inc. is an engineering simulation software (CAE) vendor. Formerly known as Hibbitt, Karlsson & Sorensen, Inc., (HKS), the company was founded in 1978 by Dr. David Hibbitt, Dr. Bengt Karlsson and Dr. ., Providence, R.I. VCCT technology in Abaqus enables engineers to identify the overall load at which a crack initiates and to predict the behavior of the structure as the crack propagates. In the example pictured here, an aircraft skin-stringer panel buckles under a shear force applied along the diagonal. Delamination is shown near the center of the part, between the stringer and the skin. Incidentally, Abaqus was recently acquired by Dassault Systemes of France, which supplies Catia and SolidWorks CAD/CAM/PLM software. Tel: (401) 276-4400 * PTDirect: 342VP [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
