Composites à fibres courtes

The stress tensor for each layer and section integration point throughout the shell thickness is read from FE results. The material orientation tensor describing the “fibre share” and direction at each calculation point is provided by mapping a manufacturing simulation to the finite element model. This orientation tensor can be read from the FE results file or supplied from an ASCII file. The Short Fibre Composite analysis requires standard materials data of two or more SN curves for differing fibre orientations. DesignLife uses this data to calculate an appropriate SN curve for each calculation point and orientation. DesignLife capabilities such as multiple variable amplitude loads and duty cycles are also supported for composites
