The most detailed approach describes the micro-structure of the composite. This includes fiber shape, fiber location and material properties of reinforcement reinforcement and matrix. If only displacements, buckling loads, or vibration frequencies and modes are required, the laminate can be analyzed as a homogeneous shell using a macro-scale approach. In this case the stress distribution can not be obtained.

Analyzing strains, stresses stresses and failure criteria of the composite laminate requires requires to model the single layers a composite design is built up by. by. This method is called meso-scale approach. It requires material properties and thicknesses for each layer of the design. ANSYS Composite PrepPost PrepPost is mainly used to prepare and evaluate evaluate composite specific results of a design using the meso-scale approach.

Composite materials are often used in form of plates and shells, which have two dimensions (length and width) much larger than the third dimension (thickness). When the thickness of a plate is small compared to the other dimension, it is reasonable to assume that the transverse transverse stress is zero (σ  Z =σ 3=0).

1. Composite Introduction Transformation to the Global Coordinate System •

Layers are defined with different specific fiber angles



In order to build a stiffness matrix for the complete layup the stiffness matrixes for each layer are transformed from the layers x,y,z or 1,2,3 coordinate system into the global coordinate system using a transformation matrix

8-Node Structural Shell

Structural shell elements require the definition of the following following mechanical material properties per layer •

Young's Modulus in X, Y and Z direction



Shear Modulus in the XY, YZ and XZ plane



Poisson's Ratio in the XY, YZ and XZ plane

1. Composite Introduction Element Technology in ANSYS •

A layup can also be defined for solid elements (SOLID185, SOLID186) and solid like shell elements (SOLSH190) in ANSYS



Furthermore discrete reinforcements (REINF264) are possible for shell and solid elements



Please see the ANSYS Theory Theor y Reference Reference in the ANSYS Help (// Theory Reference) Reference) for more information on element technology in ANSYS

1. Composite Introduction Measuring Ply Properties •

Mechanical properties of composite materials depend on the production process and the specific material properties of the basic materials used as well as on the manufacturing process of the composite design



General material databases are available (ESAComp has a comprehensive comprehensive material database) but the data provided are standard material data



For individual material data ask your material manufacturer about data, recommended tests and/or recommended test laboratories



Contact test laboratories offering offering standard test (ISO or ASTM) and non standard tests
