Composite crushing + CZONE application

Submitted by davidrbmelo on

Hello,


I am modelling a crushing simulation of a composite corrugated coupon using Abaqus/Explicit and CZONE Abaqus' application.

I am modeling the coupon using S4R elements and the impactor as a discrete rigid shell plate with a slow constant crushing speed or high initial velocity for quasi-static and dynamic crushing simulations respectively.

I am using Hashin damage in Abaqus/Explicit and Hashin and also Tsai-Wu on CZONE application.
