Original Engineering Software for Composite Materials Modelling on a Smartphone Device

The increasing demand for mobile simulation tools has opened new possibilities in engineering applications, particularly in composite material modelling. This paper introduces original engineering software developed to simulate composite materials on smartphones. The research explores the capabilities of mobile devices to perform simulations that are traditionally confined to desktop systems. Key challenges, such as computational limitations and the optimization of software architecture, now with integrated quantitative performance metrics such as computation time, accuracy, and memory efficiency, are addressed through the use of finite element analysis (FEA) and other advanced numerical methods. The software utilizes HTML-based coding for cross-platform accessibility, allowing engineers and researchers to conduct simulations anytime, anywhere. Strategies like parallel processing, cloud-assisted computation, and algorithmic optimization were implemented to enhance performance. The software’s real-time feedback and adaptive modelling provide accurate simulations of composite materials such as fiber-reinforced polymers. Furthermore, this paper reviews existing mobile-based simulation tools, highlighting their strengths and areas for improvement, while proposing novel solutions to increase efficiency, accuracy, and usability. The findings demonstrate that mobile devices, with optimized software, can successfully handle complex simulations, democratizing access to advanced engineering tools.

Abstract

The increasing demand for mobile simulation tools has opened new possibilities in engineering applications, particularly in composite material modelling. This paper introduces original engineering software developed to simulate composite materials on smartphones. The research explores the capabilities of mobile devices to perform simulations that are traditionally confined to desktop systems. Key challenges, such as computational limitations and the optimization of software architecture, now with integrated quantitative performance metrics such as computation time, accuracy, and memory efficiency, are addressed through the use of finite element analysis (FEA) and other advanced numerical methods. The software utilizes HTML-based coding for cross-platform accessibility, allowing engineers and researchers to conduct simulations anytime, anywhere. Strategies like parallel processing, cloud-assisted computation, and algorithmic optimization were implemented to enhance performance. The software’s real-time feedback and adaptive modelling provide accurate simulations of composite materials such as fiber-reinforced polymers. Furthermore, this paper reviews existing mobile-based simulation tools, highlighting their strengths and areas for improvement, while proposing novel solutions to increase efficiency, accuracy, and usability. The findings demonstrate that mobile devices, with optimized software, can successfully handle complex simulations, democratizing access to advanced engineering tools.
