Certification and failure criteria

Hi

is in program , at NREL, a project similar to NUMAD of Sandia Labs ?
I read Sandia reports about the subject and , as an engineer involved in the field of composite material aircrafts, I found them extremely interesting and , maybe, a “must” for turbine blade designer community.

We have developed a code called PreComp that computes section properties, given detailed composites lay-up. We will post it on our website sometime next week and let everyone know wheh we do that.
