Composite Analysis: A Practical Guide for Engineers
Demystifying Composite Analysis for Engineers Composite materials, like carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) and glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRPs), have revolutionized engineering design across industries. From lightweight aerospace structures and high-performance automotive components to critical oil & gas infrastructure and advanced biomedical implants, their unique properties offer unparalleled strength-to-weight ratios and design flexibility. However, harnessing […]
Composite Failure Criteria: A Practical Guide for Engineers
Composite materials have revolutionized engineering across industries, from aerospace and automotive to wind energy and biomechanics. Their impressive strength-to-weight ratio and tailored properties make them indispensable. However, designing with composites isn’t as straightforward as with isotropic metals. The anisotropic nature – where material properties vary with direction – introduces unique complexities, especially when it comes […]
