Hello, I am looking for cae examples of delamination of composite materials. Thank you

Dear All

 How can I simulate a composite plate with different thickness in ABAQUS?

Suppose that we have a plate wiche is going to be modeled with 5 layers. On the other hand, considered plate has different thickness, i.e. 3 mm one side and other side 6 mm

is there any problem if we model the plate in 3D format and then stacking layers in Composite model in ABAQUS??

I simulate a metal foam microstructure in abaqus but now in material property I dont know which kind of material can I use?

For example I used elasticity and plastic(crushable foam) or elasticity and plastic(isotropic hardening) ?

Take our user satisaction survey and tell us what you think!

I calculated an example of unaxial tension using GTN model offered by Abaqus. I followed all the instructions found in CAE User's and Analysis User's manual in Abaqus documentation. No error or warning was issued but the result seemed ridiculous, since VVF, VVFG and VVFN keeped 0 throughout the process while equivalent plastic strain keeped increasing(which showed the material had come into plastic deformation). I don't know what went wrong, looking forward to you reply.
