Design Tools for Fibre Reinforced Polymer Structures - NCN Best Practice Guide
The analysis and design methods for composite structures are considerably more complex than those for their metallic counterparts. This is due to the large number of different materials available and to the anisotropic nature of typical composite materials. Several composite design tools have been developed with the aim of automating calculations for standard composite structures. Identifying the most appropriate tool for your requirements is essential but can be confusing and time consuming.
The objective of this best practice guide is to help composite design engineers to identify and select the best design tool set for their needs. This document is geared to small and to medium enterprises involved or interested in composite materials.
