Evaluation of Finite-Element Software Packages for Stress Analysis of Laminated Composites
Griffin, OH
Bendix Advanced Technology Center, MD

Abstract

Current mechanical design and analysis requirements are such that advanced techniques, and the finite-element method in particular, are used routinely, often by people with little or no theoretical background or training. Selecting a software package for dissemination to a user community is a significant task, especially given the initial cost, the cost of user training, and the impact that use or abuse of the package will have on future products and manpower requirements.
