Wenbin Yu's blog

Dear All,

I am excited to share that we recently developed iVABS as an integrated VABS-based framework for design and optimization, parametric studies, uncertainty quantifications of composite rotor blades, and other beam-like structures. This tool is particularly useful for rapid design of composite slender structures with accuracy of detailed 3D FEA at the speed of simple engineering beam theories.  

For students who are attending IMECE this year, there is a wonderful opportunity for you to apply for a travel award ($1000/grad, $500/under). There are a total of 50 travel awards for you to claim. You also have a possibility to win cash awards ($2000 total). You need to submit a poster abstract by 6/29. See https://event.asme.org/IMECE/Program/NSF for more details.
