The simulation of damage in composites have been proven to be efficient and accurate with the assistance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/en\/products\/lms\/samtech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">LMS Samtech Samcef<\/A> in the two studies our Research and Technology Development team presented at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eccomas.org\/spacehome\/1\/0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Eccomas Conference<\/A> in 2015 and 2017. The main advantages for our damage model are the reduced number of experiments needed to characterize the material behavior and the application of the damage law at the layer lever, which allows independent lay-up. However, this accuracy is highly dependent on the parameter identification method to feed this damage law.<\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Learn more about the studies by downloading the documents below.
