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.
