    Solid elements vs Continuum shell elements for modelling a core in a sandwich structure

    Dear all, I am performing a linear buckling analysis of a sandwich structure, specifically a tapered cylindrical shell with reinforced patches. The face sheets are modeled using conventional S4R shell elements and are tied to the core vie TIE constraints. For the core, I used two different...

    Shell-Solid interaction

    Dear Abaqus users, I am modeling a sandwich structure in Abaqus with conventional shell elements for the face sheets and solid elements for the core. The face sheets include reinforced patches, leading to variations in thickness and ply sequence. The top and bottom surfaces of the shells have...

    Modelling a sandwitch structure in Abaqus

    Dear all, I am working with a tapered cylindrical shell featuring the following layup: [45, -45, Aramid honeycomb, -45, 45]. The face sheets are made of CFRC. For the honeycomb core, I have the values for E1, E2, E3, ν12, ν13, G12, G23, G13, as well as the compression and shear strengths in...
