HyperSizer contains a capability for rapid 3D stress analysis of bonded joints. The full stress tensor is calculated at multiple stations shown in the figure below. Each adherend and each ply are broken into a user-defined number of y and z locations, represented by the green dots. The theory for the stress analysis method is described in the second reference paper below. The controls for bonded joint analysis are located in the Backdoor Data form.

Once the stress state is known, margins of safety are calculated using the failure criteria described in the methods document.

See the HME document for more information.
