CADEC - Home

CADEC is an online application that performs composite materials analysis as described in the textbook Introduction to Composite Materials Design-- Second Edition, CRC, 2010. You may wish to try the new version (14 beta).

Features:

Chapter 4 - MicromechanicsChapter 5 - Ply MechanicsChapter 6 - MacromechanicsChapter 7 - Failure TheoryChapter 10 - Thin Walled Beams

CADEC allows the user to calculate a wide variety of properties.

Young Modulus vs. Volume Fraction

Sample plot of E2 vs. Volume fraction

Cadec can compute the Stiffness, Compliance, Strain and Stress transformation.

All the calculations can be exported to Microsoft® Excel 2010.

Cadec can compute the ABD and H matrices, the hygroscopic loads, strains and stresses.

Example Axial strain Vs. Thickness
