Comprehensive Micromechanics-Analysis Code (MAC/GMC)

Micromechanics Analysis Code With Generalized Method of Cells (MAC/GMC) is a comprehensive, user-friendly, efficient computer program that predicts the elastic and inelastic thermomechanical responses of continuous and discontinuous composite materials with arbitrary internal microstructures and reinforcement shapes. This program enables the efficient analysis of composite structures subjected to complex thermomechanical load histories. MAC/GMC won second place in the 1997 NASA Software of the Year competition and has been applied in industrial, government, and academic settings to such diverse composite-material structures as turbine parts, tires, and even brain tissues.
