    gauss quadrature

    Hi, Does any body know the sampling points and weighting functions of triangles for Gauss quadrature of degree of polynomial 5 and higher? Thanks. Kevin

    transverse shear stress distribution in composite laminates??

    GJS, I was not using type=composite. At all times, I'm using layers of brick elements with differing material properties. kevin

    transverse shear stress distribution in composite laminates??

    Hi all, I'm not sure whether it is something to do with the discretization error. My previous model has two brick elements per layer, so there was altogether 8 elements through the thickness. I refined my model with 3 elements per layer, i.e. 12 elements through the thickness. But the outcome...

    transverse shear stress distribution in composite laminates??

    GJS, I see what you have suggested. But, the laminate thickness is modelled using a stack of brick elements, each of which with different material properties, rather than using the option "*Solid Section, Composite". So the manner of solid modelling is actually different from what is...

    transverse shear stress distribution in composite laminates??

    Hi, I have created a 4-ply (30/30)s composite laminated model in Abaqus using layers of 20-noded brick elements and the model was subjected to uniform pressure at the bottom surface. But, the resulting transverse shear stress distribution TaoXZ is not what I'm expecting. The figures below...
