Question: ANSYS & Laminate Composite Plate
Hi friends
I want to use ANSYS to find the maximum deflection of a laminate composite plate that is made of graphite epoxy .It has 100 mm width and 500 mm length.
The layup is [45(10),0(10)] (20 Layers).
The plate is simply supported along all 4 edges and is subjected to a uniformly distributed transverse direction load p=10,000 N/m2.

Graduate Student or Graduate Employee?
Lately I have been thinking that "Graduate Student" is a misnomer. The correct title should be "Graduate Research Assistant" or "Graduate Engineer". After more than a year spent in industry, I think that there really is no difference in the work done. Except that the work environment is more flexible in academia.
