SIMULATION SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR ANALYSIS OF THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF THE COMPOSITE MATERIALS

In the recent years, the composite materials were used for the construction of the structures from the most engineering areas. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer is a composite material that is often used in aerospace industry. To develop lightweight advanced materials it is important to know very well the mechanical behaviour of these materials under different loading conditions. This paper presents the way to develop computing software of the tensile strength of the composite materials using the graphical programming. Based on some real values of the tensile forces and displacements obtained from the tensile test of carbon fiber specimen, one computes, by this method, the tensile strength and the specific elongation of the material.
