Computer-Aided Design of Composite Materials Using Reversible Multiscale Homogenization and Graph-Based Software Engineering

Abstract

In this work, a new software for computer-aided design of composite materials with predefined thermomechanical properties is presented in case of incomplete input data. The mathematical basis of underlying computational method of the properties identification is a modified method of multiscale homogenization named reversible multiscale homogenization method. The system has a modular architecture and includes software implementation of the reversible multiscale homogenization method based on a new technique of construction of software implementations of complex computational methods. The latter was named «Graph-based software engineering» (GBSE) and is based on category and graph theories. The corresponding numerical and experimental results were obtained and compared. The expediency of GBSE approach is discussed for the case of the development of complex computational methods required when solving the applied problems of the design of new heterogeneous materials.
