  • Composite ply-by-ply damage assessment using correlation factors between finite element models (FEMs) and non-destructive evaluations (NDEs)
    Patent number: 11519816
    Abstract: A computer is configured to enable a rapid, consistent, ply-by-ply, quantitative analytical assessment of various Finite Element Method (FEM) material models based on metrics defined for impact damage. Additionally, the computer is configured to provide a method for determining the accuracy of such FEM material model(s) by comparing the output of those models to non-destructive evaluation (NDE) test data.
    Type: Grant
