Abstract
The Journal of Aerospace Technology and Management is a techno-scientific publication serialized, edited, and published by the Institute of Aeronautics and Space (Instituto de Aeronáutica e Espaço-IAE).
Highlights
By analyzing history, it is possible to see the importance of material science applied to Aeronautical Engineering and, in that scenario, the composite materials emerged
The best example is the latest Boeing aircraft, 787: 50% of its structure is made of composite materials and 20% of aluminum
Micromechanical finite element models provide data to obtain the micro-stresses at the matrix/ fiber interface, and great benefits can be reached when a micromechanical approach is considered
Summary
It is possible to see the importance of material science applied to Aeronautical Engineering and, in that scenario, the composite materials emerged. As this type of material became more recognized, new branches of research came out. One of these branches is the micromechanics, which is the theory that this study focuses on. The best example is the latest Boeing aircraft, 787: 50% of its structure is made of composite materials and 20% of aluminum. The analysis of composite materials follows a macro, meso, or micromechanical approach.
