A framework for standardizing the evaluation of computational analysis methods for composite materials based on the verification and validation framework provided in ASME V&V 10-2006 is defined. Standardized cases and benchmarks for verifying method capability prior to test data correlation are developed, and the approach first focuses on benchmark analysis cases which must be completed to verify that the underlying constitutive equations, parameters, and coding produce results as expected. Second, a series of validation cases are identified for evaluating how well an analysis technique represents composite material behavior for increasingly complex configurations. Third, application class exercises are provided as a means for developing further confidence in method capability. Evaluating analysis techniques within this framework may provide an enhanced pathway towards effective implementation by ensuring the numeric implementation, material modeling, and design-level requirements are adequately captured prior to performing large scale analysis cases in which engineering judgment is required.
