Composite plate analysis using ansys. coding using matlab

Submitted by kiraniisc on

hi friends,

 

 I  have coded for laminate  using matlab. for further analysis i want  code for composite plate simply supported at all 4 edges. 

 then analyse with ANSYS. and use optimization techniques for optimizing the plate.

material : Graphite /eposy

thickness of each lamina : 0.127

Seq [45 0 -45]

 

Please anybody know how to code for composite plate and do stress analysis using Ansys.

feel free to share ur thoughts 

A course on Advanced Elasticity, with emphasis on thermodynamics and soft active materials

In the field of Solid Mechanics, Harvard has a sequence of 5 graduate courses:

The first course goes over linear elasticity, finite element method, vibration, waves, viscoelasticity, as well as some ideas of finite deformation.

Fracture Toughness Anisotropy in Silicon Carbide

Submitted by Matt Pharr on

Here is a paper that I wrote my freshman year of college.  It discusses some observations about fracture toughness in a form of silicon carbide that had potential use in nuclear fission and fusion reactors.  It was published in the Department of Energy's Journal of Undergraduate Research.

ABAQUS/Standard - 2D beam elements vs 3D shell elements

Submitted by bilim on

Dear collegues,

I am modeling deformation of a simple triangular shape, /\, which is constrained at one end and the other end is free to move on the x direction. There is a displacement loading on the top corner and the output is the reaction force on the y direction at the free end.

 I used Abaqus/ Standard and modeled this problem in 2D beam elements and 3D shell elements. The material is aluminum with plasticity and nonlinear geometry is on.
