Looking for the cohesive material properties of the FM94 adhesive to be used in Abaqus

Submitted by khalchris on

Hi all,



I have been trying to find the mechanical properties of the GLARE fiber metal laminates in order to use them in my 3d model in abaqus, I have managed to find all the S2 glass fiber mechanical properties except for the tensile and compression failure stress in third direction X3t and X3c , also I still can not find the adhesive properties of the FM94 epoxy in order to model the delamination using cohesive elements , if anyone knows these values or can direct me to a paper or a link where I could obtain them then that would be great , I have shared the values which I already have with me and I also included the ones which I am looking for.





Parameter

Density 1980 Kg/m3

E22 9.412 GPa

E33 9.412 GPa



G12 5.548 GPa

G13 3 GPa

G23 5.548 GPa



ν12 0.33

ν13 0.0575

ν23 0.0575



X1t 2430 MPa

X1c 2000 MPa

X2t 50 MPa

X2c 160 MPa

X3t ???? MPa

X3c ???? MPa



S12 76 MPa

S13 50 MPa

S23 50 MPa





and these are the ones I am looking for plus two from above noted by ????



E (N/mm2) 1900 for FM94 adherent

Poisson’s ratio 0.38 for FM94 adherent

Fracture Toughness G_IC (J/m2) 3067 Al/Glass epoxy fracture toughness

Fracture Toughness G_IC (J/m2) 3545 Glass-epoxy [0]/[90]



σ (MPa) ???? maximum normal contact stresses

τxy (MPa) ???? maximum contact shear stresses in the xy-plane

τzy (MPa) ???? maximum contact shear stresses stresses in the zy -plane



Knn (n/mm3) ????

Kss (n/mm3) ????

Ktt (n/mm3) ????



Thank you all
