Development of In-Plane Strength Analysis Software for Composite Laminated Structure with Parallel Processing Technique

Abstract

In this paper, we develop an automated software for in-plane structural analysis of composite laminated structures. The developed software supports various failure criteria and reports the analysis results considering user's convenience. It also provides batch job analysis function based on parallel processing technique. To verify the performance of the software, we compared margin of safety(MS) calculated in the software to those obtained from in-house method and the specimen experiment. As a result of comparisons, there was an error of less than 0.01 in the in-house method and it is within about +/- 10% with the specimen experiment. In addition, we confirmed the improvement of execution speed of batch job analysis based on parallel processing technique.
