Crack propagation in composites in presence of shear and pressure loads

Submitted by Roche on

Hi,

Assume that we have a composite structure consists of isotropic layers with
a delamination (separation) between the layers. There is a compressive load
applying normal to layers surfaces and hence normal to the
delamination (crack) which closes the delamination, and a shear load tangential to the
crack surface.

ADAPTIVE MESHING in ABAQUS Standard, specialists, please help

Submitted by ABAqirl on

Hello everybody,

Specialist please answer. I make simulations of nanoindentation. I do it in ABAQUS Standard 6.7.1, till 20 nm it is OK. But as i increase the penetration depth, the simulation stops and the information that the element under the indenter is highly distorted. Do you know what is the reason. Does it mean that adaptive meshing doesn't work? Or some other problem.

 

Best regards
