Hi,
I am modelling Lamb waves propagation in a laminate structure. The excitation force is a tone-burst signal in out of plane direction which creates mostly bending modes. In order to take into account the bending modes, I used S4RS element which uses mindlin-reissner theory for transverse...
I am working on a transient simulation of a laminate. I use the composite layups feature to use laminate theory for characteristics of my shell elements. Here you should define the properties of a ply so that Abaqus uses laminate theory to create the ABD matrices. My question is, Is there anyway...
