Please find attached a report on a comparison between ANSYS SHELL181 and SOLSH190 elements with particular emphasis on applicability to linear elastic sandwich panels.
Title: Comparison of Ansys elements Shell181 and Solsh190
Abstract:
Hello all,
I am doing my masters thesis on composites.Its material with cnt yarn embedded in steel.I modeled cnt yarn as solid and matrix as soilid and glued them together.the values of youngs modulus for yarn is lower than that of the matrix.I obtained some results on stresses bt the maximum stress is seen along the tip tranverse to the ysrn axis?I hope the stress should be around the yarn.
I am using ansys 13 for the analysis.Could you please help me in soving this problem???

My book on metamaterials, "An introduction to metamaterials and waves in composites" has been published on June 16, 2011 by CRC Press (Taylor and Francis).
The book is meant for students, researchers, engineers, and educators who want to get a basic grounding on the theory that is the basis of recent excitement about negative materials, cloaking, transformation optics/acoustics and other wave phenomena in composites.
Hi all,
I've modeled a composite sandwitch with ANSYS with a pressure. The element chosen was SHELL181.
I want to know the Stresses in the x, y and xy directions; the displacements and the deformations only in a few points so as to compare with the Navier and Rayleigh-Ritz solutions made following Reddy's book.
1.-The first problem is that I don't know how to ask ANSYS to list the displacements and deformations.
2.-The second one is that I know how to ask ANSYS to list all the elements in a layer,
Hello all
I am trying to model a composite material with different tension and compression modulus (elastic analysis). Does anyone know how to do it ??
Thanks for help.
There is a lot of homogenization theories based on penetrable model or some other name like 'overlapping', 'randomly imbedded model' to analyze random microstructure. In reality, the fibers or inclusions can not be penetrated into each other, so why they use this assumption anyway?
Thanks for your opinion.
Recently I have some reseach on z-pinned composite. I hope use finite element method to analyse the unit cell . I found a FE code called FLASH mentioned in many papers. I think the code will be helpful to my work.But I can not got the code form my resource. So,I ask help in the forum. Two papers about the code are given in below. I am very expect for your help!!!

Dear Abaqus Users,
I would like to model 3D composite structures using Hashin Damage model in ABAQUS. I have seen in ABAQUS manual that Hashin damage model is applicable only for shell element. I would like know whether I can use 3D element available in ABAQUS. Any help would be higly appreciated.

Hi
Am currently running Ansys analysis using shell181, and Tsai-Wu FC, have some good working first ply failure models
Trying to convert this into a progressive failure model, with no luck so far.
Anyone know something about this, how it could be done?
I suspect by looping, and fortran code, but I do not really have a clue..
