How Rule of Mixtures is Killing Your Composite Design

Rule of Mixtures is probably the most known and widespread method of estimating composite properties. Its notoriety in composite design circles is also its main problem: Rule of Mixtures has been overused and applied to cases that do not even come close to respecting its original, simplifying assumptions.

Fatigue Challenge of Additive Manufacturing

The Fatigue Challenge of Additive Manufacturing: A Simulation-Based Approach

Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D-printing, allows the production of complex components layer by layer, using only the material you need. Siemens Digital Industries Software offers simulation-based solutions to predict and optimize Additive Manufacturing product performance.
