Hi,
Does anybody know how to model composites in Abaqus on macro level? E.g. unidirectional (+45/-45) composite comprosing of several layers. I performed uniaxial tensile test and want to identify elastic mechanical properties via FEMU. Can I model the specimen with one row shell element (BUT...
Hi, does anybody know how to model continuous random fiber reinforced polymer composites on a macro-scale?
I assume these materials exhibit quasi-isotropic in-plane behavior due to random microstructure, however I'm not sure how to model them on a macro scale
using e.g. layared shell section...
