Abstract: According to a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a computing device and method to efficiently predict material behavior and to minimize the computational resources needed to obtain accurate simulations. According to a further preferred embodiment, the present invention tracks the history of driving variables for a section of a modeled element/object, for each material point or integration point or constitutive model. According to a further preferred embodiment, the present invention only maps unique histories of driving variables, within certain tolerance, to actual integration points' and/or constitutive models' data structure in order to optimize the amount of data needed to model the entire modeled element/object under determined boundary conditions. According to a further preferred embodiment, the present invention thereafter dynamically links the material response to each integration point and/or constitutive model in the modeled element/object.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a tubular comprises a tubular outer sheath defining an inner void; one or more core elements or assemblies disposed within the inner void; and a substantially solid filler in various embodiments disposed within and substantially filling the inner void, where the filler is adapted to give the tubular hoop strength in a crush situation and comprises a polymer with a density of at least 1.0. In some embodiments, these core assemblies comprise an extruded polymer layer typically extruded about core elements in a single pass, fitting about them without a sharp edge and defining an outer shape. The resulting tubular can comprise multiple regions which, though substantially filled, are filled with differing fillers densities.
