Dear colleagues,

 I'm a graduate student from University of Pittsburgh. I want to make a CNT reinforced ceramic composites (woven structure), but cannot find people to make it for us. Can anyone introduce me any labs or company who can help me? Thanks!

How to find material parameters for Abaqus PDA

Submitted by ebarbero on
ABAQUS
composite materials
ABAQUS/CAE

The PDA model implemented in Abaus is an implementation of the idea of the cohesive zone model (CZM), which is quite popular for the analysis of delaminations, but PDA is for intralaminar damage. The problem my group faced when trying to use PDA was "where do we get the material parameters?"  We asked around in blogs and such but could not find a definitive answer. So, we went to work and came up with a methodology that may serve you.



New book: FEA of composites using Abaqus

ABAQUS
composite materials

New textbook includes an explanation of the concepts involved in the detailed analysis of composites, a sound explanation of the mechanics needed to translate those concepts into a mathematical representation of the physical reality, and a detailed explanation of the solution of the resulting boundary value problems by using commercial Finite Element Analysis software such as Abaqus.

After researching a lot, Even after researching a lot, I haven't been able to find a damage criteria which  can depict natural failure in of a fiber. I do not want to induce a crack in it and break it or put in a cohesive layer. I want to break it as it breaks naturally.
