The mechanical performance of H-shaped NCF adhesively bonded joints

Submitted by Konstantinos I… on

Adhesive bonding is contemplated as an alternative method to mechanical fastening for joining composite aerostructures.

Ongoing research in this area is focused on the development of new bonding techniques and joining elements. In this

article, the mechanical performance of the novel noncrimp fabric (NCF) H-shaped adhesively bonded joints subjected to

tension, shear and four-point bending loading conditions was investigated by both experimental tests and numerical

How to model a layer of thermo setting polymer in abaqus?

Submitted by sandra tsen on

Dear all, I am modeling a 3 plies plywood using abaqus. I am facing some problem in modeling the resin layer which bond the wood veneer. Does anyone know how to model a layer of thermo setting polymer in between 2 ply of long grain direction wood veneer? Many thanks!   

How to understand the shear modulus of polymers

Submitted by Lianhua Ma on

Hi everybody,

I have a question about the shear modulus of polymers. As we know, the general engineering polymers (rubbers) are highly extensible and elastic. The shear modulus,G, for the polymers subjected to the small-strain conditions, can be defined by G=NkT, where N is the number of network chains, k is Boltzmann's constant and T is temperature in Kelvins.

A paper on stochastic multiscale fracture analysis of three-dimensional functionally graded composites

Submitted by arindam.chakraborty on

Given link is for a new moment-modified polynomial dimensional decomposition (PDD) method developed for stochastic multiscale fracture analysis of three-dimensional, particle-matrix, functionally graded materials (FGMs) subject to arbitrary boundary conditions.

ABAQUS and Soil Nailing Wall

Hi there,

 

I have a question regarding ABAQUS and soil nailing wall. In face I want to know what interaction or constraint  can use to connect nail (truss element) and soil (shell element ) to work fine ? I tried tie but the problem is that when soil settled under loads it polls the wall inside and obviously it is wrong.

 

Thank you
