COCA

Participants : Mario Ricchiuto [corresponding member] , Gregory Perrot.

COCA (CodeOxydationCompositesAutocicatrisants) is a Fortran 90 code for the simulation of the oxidation process in self-healing composites COCA solves the discrete finite element equations relative to the oxidation (chemistry) and flow (potential) models. Time integration is performed with an implicit approach (Backward Euler or second order backward differencing). The linear algebraic systems arising in the discretization are solved with the MUMPS $$ library. Physical outputs of interest can be obtained to use COCA as a numerical closure for continuous mechanics solvers in order to perform numerical strain tests for self-healing composites.
