Hey guys,
can anyone shed some light on classical laminate theory (CLT)? Let's say I have a laminate made from 3 plies: 2 outter carbon fiber plies and 1 inner fiber glass ply...
I go through the Q, Q bar, and ABD matrices steps... Now, lets say i have my inverse ABD matrices. this can be...
Hey there,
I was hoping someone with experience using PCOMP elements could help me out with my project.
So I have a small trapezoidal 'stiffener' sample (about 2.25" tall by 2" wide with a material thickness of about .45") that is to be compressed in unaxial load (strictly uniaxial)... The...

Hey guys, I'm trying to get G12 of a cured composite. The fibers are weave, so is there a special formula I can use to find G12 (Huber's Formula?).. or is it only determined experimentally. Let's assume there's no data sheet for the material, and currently I have E1 (which equals E2) and poissons...
I believe I am getting myself confused and seeking clarification.
Lets say I have a unidirectional carbon fiber laminate. From testing, I have E11 and the E22 properties. I am looking to get G12, say for an FEA model. Since I have a composite material it's not isotropi, so the isotropic formula...
Okay, lets assume I am trying to model a thin strip of carbon fiber weave sample for compression loading in FEA.
When creating my material, I have my E11 and E22 from my material testing. Since I am assuming the weave to be perfect, I am assuming E11 = E22.
Now, where do I get E33 (out of plane)...
