ABAQUS: Thermal stresses in a rectangular composite plate
Trying to model a crossply square plate with a sinusoidal temperature loading (uniform along the thickness). I am trying to match the results by Kant et al 2008 and Rohwer et al 2001. I am modeling the compoosite as a 3-D solid elements (making a part and dividing into 4 layers). I always obtain transverse shear stress on the 90 degree layer at 0,b/2,z to be zero. My results match with that of the paper when I have a single layer of orthotropic material but they dont match when I have 4 layers of equal thickness and an aspect ratio of 5 (length/thickness).

Hello, everyone!
Now, I'am trying to analysis a truncated cone composite shell subjefcted to compression load in Ansys. But I don't know how to set the element coordinate system. I want to set the circumferencial direction as fiber direction, and the thickness direction and generatrix direction as transverse direction. Can any one teach me how?
Thankful to any adivice?
Debonding simulation - XFEM fracture criterion - delamination
Hello
I am using Abaqus/CAE 6.10 to simulate a Debonding test (cohesive behavior for composite delamination).
I ran a Abaqus debonding simulation example (from Abaqus online documentation - Abaqus Benchmark Manual - 2.7.1 Delamination analysis of laminated composites).
The Abaqus/Explicit three-dimensional model with surface-based traction-separation behavior used a surface contact interaction property with:
- default Cohesive behavior
DCB test - CONTINUUM SHELL ELEMENTS vs SOLID ELEMENTS
Hello,
I modelled a 3-D DCB (Double Cantilever Beam) test specimen to simulate crack propagation (delamination) in composite materials.
To do so, I used surface cohesive properties between plates in Abaqus/Explicit, and applied a displacement at the plates tips.
When I used continuum shell elements the crack propagated as expected and the delamination occurred.
