Hello,
Recently, I have read an article about prediction of composite properties from a representative volume element. I am trying to do same things to get the same results, but so far I could not achieve. Here is my question:
I have 3d object (x:100 y:100 z:50) and 47% fiber, 53%matrix. In the model,
Left surface of my object is x symmetric.
Bottom surface of my object is y symmetric.
In the article, it is written that on the Right side of the object, there is a boundary condition which I am not able to understand! I think error comes from this boundary condition!
I have a certain displacement on the top surface (as another boundary condition)
When I do my analysis, the data works.
And then from data manager, I get my forces on the top surface (first ODB field output, reaction forces of the nodes at the top surface, then operate on XY data to combine field output).
I got all forces acting on the nodes, then I find Stress by calculating myself, and then I know the strain on that surface. From that I get elastic modulus.
My elastic modulus is always lower than the composite. There is 100GPa difference due to this RIGHT HAND side boundary condition.
I am attaching the file. If someone can tell me how to arrange the boundary condition of the right hand side surface, I would be really glad.
Any help is already appreciated!
Thank you very much
