during normal operation, air enters into the main deck cargo compartment and exits via the air grilles near the floor...
Hi Everyone, we're looking for some Practical Composites Stress Analysis Training Courses and Reference materials. Most of our stress analysts are familiar with metallic airframe analysis, and the kind of strength checks required, varying from hand analysis to FEA, as well as Damage Tolerance...
Hi everyone, wonder if anyone out there used the Altair Hyperwork Optistruct to carry out Structural Optimization for composites design. This package claims to be the benchmark for composites design and has the features to offer automated ply lay-up optimization that is capable to reducing the...
Hi everyone, I'm looking for material properties for Kevlar/Aramid composites. I've looked into Mil-Hdbk 17, to find out if its available. In 17-2F, Chapter 5, I found that it is just an empty section. This 17-2F was downloaded from the internet.
I also realised that we can purchase this...
Hi everyone, I've a reasonably fine-meshed FEM comprising of approx. 20K elements (mainly CQUAD's) of aircraft. Its a Nastran FEM, and its made of composite materials developed using Patran. I'll like to create a "stick" model representation of this aircraft so that we can use it for further...
