Regarding transverse material properties of woven composites!

Submitted by Sathiskumar on

Dear all,

  I need suggestions regarding the transverse/out of plane material properties like E3, G13, G23 for woven composites. While modeling(and simulation) the woven composite in LS-Dyna where a shear load is applied over the surface of the laminate to study the damping behaviour of the material, i need to give the material properties (especially G13 or G23 plays a major role)  which is not precisely available in the literature.

Prony series for viscoelasticity in Abaqus.

Submitted by priyadd84 on

Hi all,

     My first question is i have a set of stress Vs strain data for different strain rates (100/s to 350/s). Can prony series be extracted using these data? Or is there a way in Abaqus i can enter directly this data?

    After reading for a while a came to know that stress relaxation data is needed for defining pony series. My second question is can stress relaxation data can be obtained for high strain rates in the order of 100 to 350/s?

Thanks all
