The longitudinal compression strength of unidirectional composites F1c, also called Xc, is very difficul to test for, so often you don't have the value for the particular material (fiber, matrix, volume fraction) that you wish to use. Further, just having data does not tell you what paramaters really influence its value--it is not the compressive strength of the fiber, I can assure you. So, there is a simple formula that you can use to predict its value and also to understand what are the parameters that really affect the compression strength of the composite.

Any one help me out ,How to estimate stiffness matrix of beam  using modal experimental method?

Dear all, 

Need Help.. 

I'm doing research in moisture absorption in adhesive bonding. I'm wondering how to differentiate and characterize the Fickian Diffusion and Non-Fickian Diffusion during absorption and desorption moisture.

Thank You 

This post is to share where to go for the computational modelling. Should computation modelling focus on advance the solver convergence or focus on experiment verification?

The experiment verification always expensive and high cost involved. For solver convergence, it is always take time but less cost involved, however even with advance computational power and smart equation, we always face problem on verfiy our result through experiement stage.  

Hi,

I want to model wire rope/sling as 1d-element in abaqus.

let me know the suitable 1d-elemet for wire rope/sliing.
