The module turns composite material models into interactive comparisons. Its load-transfer section contrasts the equal-strain longitudinal rule of mixtures with the equal-stress isostress rule of mixtures, letting a learner vary constituent moduli and proportions. The educational point is scientifically useful: two predictions can differ because they impose different geometries and load-sharing assumptions, even with the same constituent data.[ref]
Mechanics of Composite Materials by Bill Clyne and Boban Tanovic. Load Transfer, model comparisons and parameter exploration
For instance, an illustrative mixture with equal volumes of phases having Young's moduli and gives in the ideal equal-strain case but about in the ideal equal-stress case. Changing a model assumption changes the answer; interacting with such a comparison helps distinguish a model prediction from a measured material property.
