The World-Wide Failure Exercise (WWFE) was an international research project with the goal of assessing the predictive performance of competing failure models for composite materials. Part I (WWFE-I) focused on failure in fiber-reinforced polymer composites under two-dimensional (2D) stresses and ran from 1996 until 2004. Part II was concerned with failure criteria under both 2D and 3D stresses, and ran between 2007 and 2013. Part III, also launched in 2007, was concerned with damage development in multi-directional composite laminates.
I am often asked to comment on how it is possible that, although everybody agrees simulation governance is a good idea, it is not being practiced — or, as Shakespeare would put it more elegantly, “more honour’d in the breach than the observance.” — The short answer is that changing minds and habits is hard. A more detailed explanation follows.
At present, a very substantial unrealized potential exists in numerical simulation. Simulation technology has matured to the point where management can realistically expect the reliability of predictions based on numerical simulations to match the reliability of observations in physical experimentation. This will require management to upgrade simulation practices through exercising simulation governance.
