FRP modeling

Dear Guys

Is there any one that can help me for below questions?

1- Modeling FRP in abaqus CAE

2- Define interaction between FRP layer and concrete wall

Dear Mojtahedpour ,

1.a thin block with fine mesh would be fine i think, but not sure if you'll get very large deformation.

2.Surface to surface contact should be good, and if you dont need to consider the relative motion between them, a fine mesh on

top of the wall with FRP material properties would be better. BTW.Explicit should be better for shock simulation:D faster~

 Hope that will help you a little bit.

 Regards,
