Modeling laminate composite in ABAQUS
Hi,
I am doing a laminate composite in ABAQUS. Is there any titurial I can learn from?
Thanks

How should one compare material fatigue strength in thin film area?
For several common electroplated materials: Ni, Cu, Au and Al, which one has strongest fatigue strength? We know the mechanical properties of thin films are different with their bulk counterparts due to the so called "size effect", and material properties depends largely on the microstructure and processing technique. But is there some mateiral laws or guidelines for designers to choose the "best material" as for fatigue resistant? Yield limit? ultimate tensile strength? or elongation? How could one compare material candidates without doing time-consuming test?
Solution to PS 2.6
My previous exposure to solid mechanics is tangential beyond a first semester course in beam bending, beam stretching, and beam torsion. I am a master of Mohr's circle, and am looking to extend my practice in solid mechanics to include interesting problems and applications of the theory of solids.
I studied Engineering Mechanics as an undergraduate, and received a second degree in Mathematics, with a concentration in Applied Math.
mesh-free method for elasto-plastic analysis
hi
is there any algorithm other than incremental equations to get the elasto-plastic constitutive relation
if it is there please suggest me so that i can go on step forward in my project
Buckling due to Welding Stresses
I am modeling weld induced residual stresses in circumferentially welded thin-walled cylinders. Any one guide me how to conduct buckling analysis due to weld induced residual stresses in ANSYS.

Nice and low-cost introductory texts
There are two very nice companion texts on continuum mechanics and nonlinear elasticity printed by Dover recently: "Continuum mechanics" by Spencer and "An introduction to the theory of elasticity" by Atkin and Fox. Great and fairly affordable reading!
Mode-3 FEA using ansys.
I need to compute SIF for a CT specimen-like geometry in mode-3 using ansys. How can I go about?
calculation of Stress in composites
Hi engineers,
I am working in fiber composites with ABAQUS, but I have a problem,
I can't calculate stress and other element variables, can you help me ?
Too,I have to use ABAQUS/CAE for model and here is my *.inp file.
Thanks for your help
