- A computational efficient modelling technique is presented that can significantly save the simulation time and resource by clustering undamaged lamina plies to reduce the material interfaces in the models. Airbus have expressed interest in this work as it reduces a week-long simulation to a few hours (linden.l.harris@airbus.com, Predictive Virtual Testing Lead). The European Space Agency (ESA ESTEC) are looking to implement this method in their computer design tool ESACRACK (Denis.Neves@esa.int). Presented at an invited talk at the Forum of Engineering Structural Integrity (FESI) in 2018.
