Composites Applications

The Composites Affordability Initiative (CAI) unanimously selected ESRD’s composites functionality to “replace as well as radically improve existing industry software currently used for bonded joints.” In time, the improvements extended to fastened laminated composite and metallic-laminated joints, reinforced composite structures, multi-scale analysis and more.

Our implementation is unique in the FEA industry for focusing on the detailed analysis needs of composite designers and engineers, including 3D ply-by-ply modeling and failure analysis.

Instead of plate or shell modeling, we focus on the important details, such as interlaminar failure modes and thru-thickness ply stresses.

Composites Application Focus

The following are typical composites analysis applications which are routinely performed in StressCheck Professional:

Bolted & Bonded Composite Joint Analysis

A key reason StressCheck® was selected by multiple industry leaders as the tool of choice for laminated composites analysis was the substantial quantitative benefits in bolted and bonded joint modeling and analysis.

Applicable Products:

StressCheck® Core
Linear Elasticity Solver
Composites Module
Non-Linear Solver
Margin Check Solver

Reinforced Composite Structural Analysis

With StressCheck®’s inherent ability to model complex composite structural details via curved, high-aspect ratio elements, ply by ply analysis of reinforced composite structures (stiffeners, panels, etc) is practical and efficient.

Applicable Products:

StressCheck® Core
Linear Elasticity Solver
Composites Module
Non-Linear Solver
Margin Check Solver
Heat Transfer Solver

Testimonials

“We have been having very good success using the P-Version finite element code, StressCheck, to develop the 2-D solutions for two independent cracks in a plate. I have asked one of our AFGROW team members to model the plate and lug cases using StressCheck and compare them to the existing AFGROW closed-form solutions. [He] modeled the cases several different ways to be sure that he was getting the best possible solutions. He has verified that the bearing load option in StressCheck provides excellent results.”

Testimonials

The software provides a highly reliable and user-friendly production stress analysis tool that will replace the Finite Element Method (FEM) tools and failure criteria the experts currently employ for analyzing bonded joints. The software includes an FEM-based handbook format, which allows non-experts to utilize models prepared by specialists. The handbook problems include built-in failure criteria, geometric and material nonlinearities, and the modern FEM technology provides better error control and the treatment of very large aspect ratios.”
