LUSAS/ANSYS modelling help

Submitted by reja e rabbi on

Hi,

I am working on delaminated composite materials. For analysis I was trying to use ansys or lusas but not able to model proerly . I need help to model the following problem.

32 layer laminated plate length 300mm

width 250mm

delaminated between 8th and 9th layer from the top and location is  100mm from left eadge and delaminated width 50mm. Simply supported in all four eadges.

lay ups are symmetric and assume any material property (E11, E12, E22, nu, G12 etc)

Problem : buckling load and mode shape to be determined.

Hi,

 can you pleas somebody recommend me some good books on continuum thermodynamics and plasticity(from physical point of view).

Thank you,

Cohesive elements parameters

Submitted by parisa on

Hi,

I am working a long time on using cohesive elements in ABAQUS but up to now my efforts have be unsucessful.

I want to use of cohesive elements with the following paramters:

Damage initiation: Normal stres= 1.9 MPa, shear stress= 6.2 MPa 

Damage evolution:  Mode I fracture energy= 0.5307, Mode II farcture energy= 0.6623

Could any body kindly let me know that what would be my model E/Knn, E/Kss parameters?

Thank you,

Parisa

 

fatigue crack growth curve

I implement a program for fatigue crack growth in the XFEM.

But I have great difficulties to find material parameters used for PARIS- or  FORMAN/METTU-equation.

Can anyone point me where this parameters could be released, for example for epoxy, polyurethane, 18CrNiMo7-6 and Aluminium.

I would very appriciate your response.
