FGM failure criterion (Functionally Graded Material)
i am want to know which failure criterion dominates in a ceramic metal functionally graded material composite.
Can anybody pls give me the reference of related material ?
piezoelectric composite beam analysis using ABAQUS
Hi!! all
I am doing analysis of piezoelectric composite beam as 2-d problem. there are 5 layers. top layer is PZT-5A and bottom 4 layers are cross ply graphite-epoxy . beam is simply supported and load is udl pressure. plz tell me how to model this beam in ABAQUS.
Thanks u.
ASME 2008 Conference Track on Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Fluids
The ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress (IMECE 2008) will be held on October 31 - November 6, 2008, in Boston, Massachusetts. http://www.asmeconferences.org/Congress08/. A wide range of mechanics-related symposia (topics) are being organized in Track 12 Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Fluids. The Executive Committee of the ASME Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) believes that this track will provide a good platform for mechanics-related presentations.
Fracture energy - Garwood method?
Anyone know the Garwood method which is used to determine the fracture energy of concrete (composite materials)?
Garwood method: with a load - load line displacement curve of an three point bending fracture test (or SENB), we have firstly:
J0=2U0/B(H-a0)
After, an iterative relation is used:
Jn=Jn-1(H-an)/(H-an-1)+2Un/B(H-an-1)
B,H : width and height of the beam respectively.
a : crack length
Material model of Kevar composite for Impact problem
I am looking for material model of Kevlar composite for Ballistic impact simulation. Presently i am using ANSYS. Can any body suggest material model for kevlar composite for fracture and penetration phenomina.
