Hi i am a student at NUST and i need help to model composite plates in ansys and to carryout their impact testing in ANSYS if anyone can help then please my E-mail is umer_virk_7381@hotmail.com

 Finding damping of composite  material by using ansys

any one please help me in finding damping of any composite material by using ansys  software and what analysis has to be done regarding that one.generally in ansys damping can be given as input but to get damping as the output of composite material how it can be done what model i has to use?

Hello, I am trying to run a laminted composite plate in ansys. I have all the required mechanical properties and the know how to put some of the information. So far, the many trials I did i can't extract the failure criteria results. I want to know whether the plate fails in normal, shear or compression. I appreciate if someone can give me the map of how to get to that result and at what force. what are the step that i have to take in order to get there.

thanks

Hi friends
I want to use ANSYS to find the maximum deflection of a laminate composite plate that is made of graphite epoxy .It has 100 mm width and 500 mm length.
The layup is [45(10),0(10)]  (20 Layers).
The plate is simply supported along all 4 edges and is subjected to a uniformly distributed transverse direction load p=10,000 N/m2.

The material properties of the layers are as below:
