Tech Brief: Composite Winglet Optimization for Reliability and Robustness

A new tech brief was recently released on composite optimization. See below for additional information:  

Composite materials offer the potential for structures of lighter weight than their metallic counterparts. The stiffness and strength of a laminated composite structure depends directly on the ply stacking sequence. A design process that includes the effects of manufacturing tolerances and variability in lamina properties will allow for a more reliable and robust structure.

composite modelling

Hello all,

I am doing my masters thesis on composites.Its material with cnt yarn embedded in steel.I modeled cnt yarn as solid and matrix as soilid and glued them together.the values of youngs modulus for yarn is lower than that of the matrix.I obtained some results on stresses bt the maximum stress is seen along the tip tranverse to the ysrn axis?I hope the stress should be around the yarn.

I am using ansys 13 for the analysis.Could you please help me in soving this problem???

An introduction to metamaterials and waves in composites

My book on metamaterials, "An introduction to metamaterials and waves in composites" has been published on June 16, 2011 by CRC Press (Taylor and Francis).

The book is meant for students, researchers, engineers, and educators who want to get a basic grounding on the theory that is the basis of recent excitement about negative materials, cloaking, transformation optics/acoustics and other wave phenomena in composites.

[ANSYS] Composites. Problems using shell181 at postproc and tsai-hill criterion

Hi all,

I've modeled a composite sandwitch with ANSYS with a pressure. The element chosen was SHELL181.
I want to know the Stresses in the x, y and xy directions; the displacements and the deformations only in a few points so as to compare with the Navier and Rayleigh-Ritz solutions made following Reddy's book.

1.-The first problem is that I don't know how to ask ANSYS to list the displacements and deformations.

2.-The second one is that I know how to ask ANSYS to list all the elements in a layer,

tension/compression assymetry problem in Abaqus

Hello all

 I am trying to model a composite material with different tension and compression modulus (elastic analysis).  Does anyone know how to do it ??

 

Thanks for help.

Why penetrable model can be assumed in random?

There is a lot of homogenization theories based on penetrable model or some other name like 'overlapping', 'randomly imbedded model' to analyze random microstructure. In reality, the fibers or inclusions can not be penetrated into each other, so why they use this assumption anyway?

 

 

 Thanks for your opinion.

Who can apply me code of FLASH ?

Recently I have some reseach on z-pinned composite. I hope use finite element method to analyse the unit cell . I found a FE code called FLASH mentioned in many papers. I think the code will be helpful to my work.But I can not got the code form my resource. So,I ask help in the forum. Two papers about the code are given in below. I am very expect for your help!!!

3D Composite model in ABAQUS

Dear Abaqus Users,

I would like to model 3D composite structures using Hashin Damage model in ABAQUS. I have seen in ABAQUS manual that Hashin damage model is applicable only for shell element. I would like know whether I can use 3D element available in ABAQUS. Any help would be higly appreciated.

Progressive Failure Model

Hi

Am currently running Ansys analysis using shell181, and Tsai-Wu FC, have some good working first ply failure models

Trying to convert this into a progressive failure model, with no luck so far.

Anyone know something about this, how it could be done?

I suspect by looping, and fortran code, but I do not really have a clue..

Free software for radial Youngs modulus plots of laminates

Hi,

i am looking for a free tool to create radial/radar plot for youngs, shear modulus

and poissons ratio (diagramms showing properties as a function of the angle).

so far i found one excel / vb based one but it is very basic.

Any suggestions?

Looking for work done on multiple holes in composite plates

Hi all,

 I am looking for any literature on the solution the analysis of composite plates with multiple holes in them. I have been able to find plenty of information about single holes in composite plates but none on multiple hole interaction, hence this call for help.

 

Thank you in advance,

Fernando

Hashin damage model for fiber reinforced composite in ABAQUS

Hi Everyone,

I am doing a project in which I am trying to study about the
drilling of composite. The aim is to optimize the drill and process
parameters to minimize the damage. For this I have tried to simulate
the drilling process in ABAQUS and I am using the Hashin damage model.
The problem is that Hashin damage model works only for the lamina which
takes only plane stress elements. Since only plane elements are allowed
I am unable to simulate cutting action of drill as the composite plate
is effectively 2D.

Composite Modelling in Abaqus

Hello,

 Pardon my basic question.  I need to model a carbon fibre sheet using Abaqus 6.7.  I cannot seem to get the composite layup tool to work properly and I do not know how to define the material properties for carbon fibre.  Are there any good online turorials I can use to do this?  My part will be 8-ply, 125mm square, ~1mm thinck.  Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Composite Solid

Hi All,

I am analysing a fiber composite solid plate with a large and small holes. The model is meshed with C3D8R elements. The output has U and RF in global CSYS and S, E in local CSYS. I have problem in reading  S and E written in local CSYS. I know it is very simple, but I cant able to figure it out. Those who know, how to read the S and E in local CSYS, please help me. Tks in advance for your time and advice.
