Partner Highlights

Complementary Software

BondPredict:

An Abaqus-based software tool that guides practicing engineers thru all steps for creating and using efficient bond models for new and existing polymer-based adhesives. It utilizes a best-in-class polymer model and enables cohesive zone modeling approaches with a limited number of physical experiments needed for material characterization and fracture definition. This tool enables bonded joint design and analysis and failure post-mortem examination for bonds under complex loadings and environments, including accurate polymer adhesive response with compressive effects on failure, along with full temperature/moisture conditions and histories. The tool is integrated into Abaqus/CAE and includes a linked compiled numerical library for utilization in Abaqus/Standard.

Panel Designer:

An Isight + Abaqus based design tool for tow steered composite panels augmented with curvilinear stiffeners is being developed. Prior research developments by the pro
