The document summarizes a tensile test on a composite lamina to determine maximum stress and strain values and plot the stress-strain graph. The lamina has a Young's modulus of 14,000 N/mm2 and Poisson's ratio of 0.2. It will be meshed with 208 8-node linear brick elements and analyzed using static general analysis with one end fully fixed and a uniform load applied on the other end in the y-axis direction. Stress, strain, force-displacement curves and Mises stress animation results will be obtained.
2. Problem Description:
Consider a Composite Lamina as shown in
figure. Which is having Youngs Modulus
14000 N/2
and Poissons Ratio 0.2. Find
the Max. Stress and Strain values and also plot
the Stress-Strain Graph.
6. The C3D8R element is a general purpose linear
brick element, with reduced integration (1
integration point).
Due to the reduced integration, the locking
phenomena observed in the C3D8 element do not
show.
The element tends to be not stiff enough in
bending.
Stresses, strains are most accurate in the
integration points.
The integration point of the C3D8R element is
located in the middle of the element.
Small elements are required to capture a stress
concentration at the boundary of a structure.
