DEVELOPING A FOCUSED DESIGN METHODOLOGY FOR COMPOSITE-MATERIAL SYSTEMS Academic Article

abstract

• At present lessons learned from composite technology applications can be summarized simply by stating that designing independently from manufacturing concerns is no longer cost effective nor desirable. Thus, our focus for future developments must be on creating synergism between the designer, analyst and manufacturing engineer. Furthermore, the degree of sophistication necessary to analyze and predict the response of a component other than the 'build and break' approach requires engineers who are equipped with fundamental understanding of anisotropy, inhomogeneity, as well as new production methods that are unique to advanced material systems. This paper attempts to highlight some concerns and corresponding methodologies that must be integrated for a successful, reliable development of a component. The areas discussed are illustrated with examples to accentuate the concepts as necessary. 1990.
