Verification of hot-spot in complex composite structures using detailed FEA
Conference poster, 2018

Motivation Current shell-element based design tools used in the automotive industry do not allow for failure prediction in complex composite structures. An automated method to identify and analyse structural hot-spots for all potential failure modes is therefore needed.
