Multiscale Analysis of Aerospace Composites

Abstract

Develop experimentally calibrated predictive computer modeling capabilities that would bridge the multiple material and structural scales and there by significantly reduce development costs. This will allow, for the first time, an integrated approach wherein structures and materials would be designed as a system. This is motivated by the fact that in an aircraft the behavior of structure is governed by both material and structural response; often these two levels are highly coupled. The pathway that will bring physical and microstructural material information into the realm of structural design will be developed.
