modeling of composite cylinder in abaqus
i am working on composite risers and it has inner steel liner and carbon epoxy layers ,where there are 19 layers with 88 and 0 degree orientation alternatively. plss help me in modeling it.
1) i have assumed nu12 =nu23 for transverse isotropy case. i needed engineering constants to give as material properties. am i right???
2)how to create local coordinate system and assign it material orintation.
