Simulation of the structure up to collapse. In order to highlight their impact on the model reliability, different material properties were assigned to the plies and the interfaces. More information In addition to advanced non-linear analysis, optimisation techniques can also be used to improve the design of aircraft components. Semianalytical sensitivity of the collapse loads was developed in SAMCEF as part of the COCOMAT project. It is used in the BOSS Quattro task manager and optimisation toolbox, together with buckling sensitivity, to determine minimumweight stiffened composite panels offering the desired buckling and collapse levels. Fig. 2: Physical and virtual prototypes. In the first model (a), the material degradation is not taken into account; the plies exhibited linear elastic material properties and the interfaces were perfect and elastic. In the second model (b), the plies were linearly elastic and the interfaces were imperfect. Delamination was therefore taken into account and inter-laminar cracks were able to propagate during the loading stage, especially between the stiffeners and the panel. In the third model (c), the interfaces were linearly elastic, however intra-laminar damage can appear (fibres breaking and matrix cracking). In the final model (d), both plies and interfaces were damaged during the loading stage. Fig. 4: The BOSS Quattro software developed by SAMTECH to optimize composite structure design. When material degradation is not taken into account in the finite-element model, numerical analysis does not follow the experimental curve after the collapse load has been reached, resulting in a poor estimation of the structure’s post-critical behaviour. While the structural stiffness and strength clearly decrease according to the experiment, the first model (a) with perfect (linear elastic) material properties shows an equilibrium path which is unaltered after the collapse load. When material degradation is allowed to occur, the virtual prototype provides very realistic results, especially when both inter- and intralaminar damage is modelled (model d). Material non-linearities and damage are therefore necessary to accurately predict the structural behaviour of composite structures. Fig. 3: Comparison of experimental and numerical results. When compared with the experimental curve (Figure 3), it is clear that the four models present different levels of reliability.
