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 and low-cycle fatigue of composite structures
Who should attend:
This course is recommended for engineers with
experience using Abaqus/Standard.
