PERIODO: il corso sarà tenuto dal prof: Wenbin Yu della Purdue University This 4-day short course covers fundamentals of mechanics of structure genome (MSG) needed for multiscale modeling of composite structures through directly linking structural analysis and microstructures. Students with good understanding of elasticity, finite element method, and mechanics of composite materials should have no problem to take this course. This course not only covers the essential theoretical fundamentals of MSG including the concept of structure genome and the principle of minimum information loss, but also the companion software SwiftComp to solve typical problems in composite structures. On completing this course the student shall be able to: 1. Understand the concept of structure genome (SG) and its difference from representative volume element (RVE). 2. Understand the principle of minimum information loss. 3. Apply MSG to solve practical problems including 3D properties of laminates, interlaminar stresses of composite laminates, buckling/postbuckling of stiffened composite panels, multiscale modeling of textile composites. 4. Design and analyze composite structures using SwiftComp and other commercial composite simulation software
