Computer aided derivation of equations for composite mechanics problems and finite element analyses

Abstract

Explicit equations are derived for analysis of multilayered fiber composites and for finite element analyses. The equations are obtained using a symbolic program and tested for various composite properties as well as for different fiber orientations. In order to analyze multilayered fiber composite structures, a variable thickness finite element is formulated. Examples of an airfoil geometry, simulated in a form of a cantilevered beam with various fiber orientations are studied.
