The work, carried out as part of Skoltech’s Center for Hydrocarbon Science and Technology, represents an improvement on an existing model that did not previously take into account the complexity of the structure of fibrous materials when modelling. This makes it possible to more accurately determine the size and shape of defects that arise inside composites during operation.
The new model can be used to find and analyze microcracks and other damage in fiber composites commonly used in aircraft manufacturing. It provides the ability to accurately calculate the mechanical properties of materials under various types of stress.
