Single fiber pull out modelling

Submitted by charls2vimal on

I want to model a fiber rod pull out process in Abaqus. The fiber is a composite rod which is to be debonded first from the surrounding laminate and need to be sliding along the interface of the rod/laminate.

Modelling:

i created an axisymmetric model of the rod being surrounded by the laminate. i got the residual stress due to curing process. This residual stress is compressive at the interface which is responsible for resisting the pull out force applied at first.

loading:

Axial pull is applied at one end of the rod. and the other end being fixed.
