Micromec

MICROMEC® is a program to calculate 3D thermo-elastic properties of composite materials. Inputs are the characteristic values of the components as well as parameter for the amount, shape and distribution of the reinforcement.

MICROMEC®

By default composite materials are anisotropic. Therefore a lot of parameters are necessary to describe the properties of the composites.

MICROMEC® enables a fast and easy determination of the material parameters for such composites. Also, a virtual material design is possible.

By default, base of the calculation of the 3D thermo-elastic properties is the Mean-Field-Theory of Mori-Tanaka. In addition, the calculation can be done by 3D- laminate theory.
