Hybrid Composite Model Design!

Submitted by hasan_ikbal on

Hello everybody!

I'm kinda new in ABAQUS, struggling with very simple models design it seems!

My research is on fiber reinforced hybrid composites. Basically it is a laminate of four plies, and each ply consists of a hybrid combination of two fibers (Carbon and galss). Fiber bundles are arranged (5mm:5mm) alternatively throughout the width of the fabric (plz. find the attachments). The models I want to create are very simple, for tensile, compression, flexural and shear simulation as per ASTM standard.

I tried a way but ended up failed:

The new blog post discusses yet another application of the Linear Assignment Problem; in this case the use of the Hungarian algorithm for finding an optimal list of close data points to a set of point generated using Latin Hypercube sampling.  See http://www.parresianz.com//sampling/hungarian_algorithm/

If you're interested in stochastic finite element analysis, you might like to know that we've just published a paper that reviews the "practical" application of the method. The paper first outlines the main methods of incorporating uncertainty into engineering computations. It then presents "practical" examples across a range of disciplines of where these methods have been used.

We hope that this paper is a good starting point for those looking to adopt stochastics in their work.
