Composite Parts can offer more durable, weight efficient, and lower life
cycle costs.
Companies must have durability & damage tolerance methodology for
design, qualification, and life management of parts.
Durability is an analysis challenge in modern composite part design:
Part shapes and material composition
are increasingly complex.
Large primary structures such as
beams and frames.
Complex layups & joints.
From thin to very thick structural
parts.
Susceptible to interlaminar failure and
barely visible impact damage.
Static Design
Fiber breakage, max strain criteria
Fiber crushing, buckling
Core damage, face sheet wrinkling
Hole & fastener damage
Delamination
Onset of delamination
Critical unstable growth
Repeated/cyclic load growth
