ICAN/PART: Particulate composite analyzer, user's manual and verification studies

摘要: A methodology for predicting the equivalent properties and constituent microstresses particulate matrix composites, based on micromechanics approach, is developed. These equations are integrated into a computer code developed to predict of fiber reinforced polymer composites form new code, ICAN/PART. Details flowchart, input output ICAN/PART described, along with examples output. Only differences between original ICAN described in detail, user assumed be familiar structure usage code. Detailed verification studies, utilizing dim dimensional finite element boundary analyses, conducted order verify that accurately models mechanics composites. ne computed by fall within bounds established results. Furthermore, agree average sense results using method. The studies indicate programmed do indeed model
