Additional Product Information
LiTiP (Life Time Prediction) is a software tool for the fatigue lifetime prediction of composite laminates under proportional cyclic loading. The part of the solution algorithm which concerns stress analysis is based on the Classical Laminate Theory, while the life prediction is based on the Ply Discount method. LiTiP can be used as a low level design tool by engineers and students due to the following features:
- a complicated laminate lay-up is allowed;
- cyclic proportional loads to the laminate are applied;
- only elastic constants and S-N curves for a UD composite are needed as input data;
- a fatigue lifetime of the laminate is predicted. The failure sequence of plies in the laminate is calculated. Stresses and strains in plies, stiffness and compliance matrices of the laminate after each damage event are given.
