Anisotropy and non-linear effects in SMC composites : from material data to FE-simulation of structures

In the design of composite structures for the automotive industry it is vital to have good tools because development time is very critical. Normally simulation of mechanical properties of sheet moulding compound (SMC) composite structures is stiffness based and limited to isotropic material model. D...
