Why p- versus h-version?
• Accurate modeling of singularity gradients required– Utilize stress/strain computed at a distance from the singularity– Energy of singularity does not pollute neighboring region where stress/strain
information is extracted– p-version allows much faster mesh transition rates - 7:1 for p-version as opposed
to 3:1 for h-version• Composite joints have very large length to thickness ratio; requires thin
elements with large aspect ratios away from singularities– p-version allows very high element aspect ratio - as high as 200:1– h-version has tighter restrictions on aspect ratio - as high as 10:1
• Variable polynomial degree of p-version elements allows for automatic convergence reporting
• p-version allows coarser meshes, better for parameterization without element distortion problems
• p-version less sensitive to element distortion

12/14/2006Slide # 10
Why Stress Check?
• Handbook Format Available for the non-FEM expert– Parameterized meshes for standard problems– Failure criteria implemented for sizing– Controlled convergence and extraction removed mesh dependency
issues in failure analysis• Very good interface for pre- and post-processing; Stress/strain
can be extracted continuously throughout elements• Capable of Material and Geometric Nonlinear Analysis• Can be automatically extruded to a 3D solution if Plane Strain not
considered the appropriate solution

Thin Solid Elements forExtruded 3D Handbooks
• Extruded 3D solutions can be used in StressCheck Handbooks to account for 3D effects such as: off-axis ply deformations which violate the plane strain assumptions
• Thin solid elements were developed to allow more efficient computation of 3D solutions when solid elements are used to model thin laminated composite structures
– Lower interpolation is necessary in the transverse direction of thin elements than in the in-plane directions
– The ability to reduce the p-discretization in the transverse direction independent of the in-plane directions is necessary
– Substantial savings in computation time, without reduction in quality and accuracy of solution

Stress-Based Failure Comparisons
• Phase II and Phase III comparisons using semi-empirical method– Stress based failure theory – Empirical distance rule (generally half a ply thickness) tuned to
represent element overall failure– In all cases, the failure mode (failure location) was predicted– Final failure load (not initiation) is compared with predictions

Zig-Zag Elements Commercialization
• In Fall of 2003, ABAQUS, Inc. released a close “cousin” to the Zig-Zag element
• LM Aero evaluated this new ABAQUS element, and identified shortcomings– Not reporting/computing interlaminar stress/strain– Postprocessing/visualization– Made request for improvements in Vs 6.5 to be released in
Fall of 2004
• CAI decided to halt all Zig-Zag element development, and focused on the new ABAQUS element called the “SC8R” element

Zig-Zag vs. SC8R
Layered Hex Element
• Zig-Zag & SC8R Similarities– Handles Multiple Layers Per Element & Bending Behavior– Bricks Relatively Insensitive to Aspect Ratio Problems– Bricks Do Not Shear Lock When in Bending
• Differences– Zig-Zag
• Higher-order Kinematic Behavior (Piecewise Linear)• Brick Elements With Rotations at Each Node• User Element
– SC8R • New ABAQUS native element• Called a “Continuum Shell”• Mindlin Shell Theory• Brick element Topology with only displacements at each node

Summary
• StressCheck– StressCheck ability to provide detailed interlaminar stress/strain
information has been validated– Analysis methods for modeling various composite bonded joints has
been demonstrated– Stress-based failure theory successfully demonstrated using an
empirical distance rule– Strain Invariant Failure Theory (SIFT) was evaluated without distance-
rule empiricism• Pi-joints, Lap joints, and Stiffener Termination• “Onset of irreversible damage” initiation predictions do not coincide with
measurable load events• Failure mode predictions are very accurate
• Zig-Zag Elements– Element theory was initially explored, and ABAQUS user elements
developed and validated– Accuracy of Zig-Zag interlaminar stress/strain predictions was verified– Work was halted in lieu of evaluation of ABAQUS Continuum Shell
Element (SC8R)– Global/local Zig-Zag and SC8R applications were successful

Use of CAI Developed StressCheck Analysis Capabilities
• StressCheck is widely viewed as the needed next-generation composite joint strength analysis tool
• StressCheck usage has dramatically caught on, with usage spreading to LM/JSF and other Boeing & Bell programs
• CAI is receiving a lot of “Credit” for this technology development, as it is recognized that much of the composites capability in StressCheckwas initiated and paid for by CAI
To develop improved analysis tools to support the timely analysis of bonded/cocured joints and IRC structures including structural trade studies, detailed stress analysis and failure prediction
Original Objective
Success
StressCheck Analysis Capabilities for Composites and Bonded Joints is a CAI Success Story
