I was searching for strain vs displacement relationships for a rectangular plate under shear. The plate comprises of a rectangular hole and the strain around the corners of the rectangular opening/hole are required.The material can be anything.

Dear all,
First of all I would like to thank you for taking some time to read this. I am currently trying to model an anisotropic sheet material using ANSYS. The material exhibits elastic-plastic nature under tension/compression. I started with a pure elastic orthotropic material model with...
[smile]Dear Drej and rickfischer51,
Thank you so much for your advice.I am indeed using Shell elements and you were right. the shells were not consistently aligned/facing. Thanks heaps.

This might be a very naive question. However, this has left me quite puzzled. I am using ANSYS 14.5 and prepared a geometry using the GUI. The model was a dog bone shaped planar object with notches. To provide a good regular mesh, I subdivided the object into several areas before meshing. I...
