Analysis of Composite Materials with Abaqus

Objective:

Composite materials are used in many design applications because of their high stiffness to weight ratios. This seminar shows you how to use Abaqus effectively to model composite materials.

The topics covered include:

  • Using detailed modeling of the microscopic behavior to determine the behavior of composite materials
  • Defining anisotropic elasticity with Hookean models for combining the fiber-matrix response
  • Defining composite layups using Abaqus/CAE
  • Defining discrete or layered reinforcing within an element using rebars, membrane elements, and truss elements
  • Achieving the correct material orientation of the layers of composite shells and solid elements
  • Modeling sandwich composite structures and stiffened composite panels
  • Modeling progressive damage and failure in composites
  • Modeling delamination of composite structures

Who should attend:

This course is recommended for engineers with experience using Abaqus/Standard.
