Within this paper, behaviour simulations of various polymer matrix composite laminates subjected to three and four-point bending using the finite element method have been carried out. The models have been designed and analyzed with MSC Patran and MSC Nastran. Four types of composite laminates have been developed based especially on epoxy resin reinforced with Chopped Strand Mats of various specific weights and RT800 glass fabrics, namely four layers 4 x CSM450, four layers 4 x RT800-warp, four layers 4 x RT800-weft, eight layers 2 x CSM600/4 x RT800-warp/2 x CSM450 and eight layers 2 x CSM600/4 x RT800-weft/2 x CSM450 composite laminates. Using the finite element method, strain distributions of these four laminates subjected to three and four-point bending have been determined. The theoretical approach has been compared with experimental data obtained on LR5KPlus Lloyd Instruments materials testing machine. The comparison shows close values between both approaches..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
