ٍSimulation of laminated composites subjected to three-point bending in Abaqus

In this tutorial simulation of laminated composites subjected to three-point bending in Abaqus has been investigated.structural applications like aircraft and automobiles because of their high specific stiffness, high specific  strength, good fatigue resistance and light weight coupled with an increasing emphasis on energy  conservation. The forced assembly is a common problem for composite parts due to their poor fit-up  conditions between the mating surfaces.During forced assembly process of composite parts in aircraft  industry, the major internal stresses, which may cause delamination in the laminates, are induced by  bending loads. Therefore, flexural behavior of laminated composites should be of particular concern  during forced assembly.You can see a figure of the assembled parts at below

Composites laminate are modeled as continuum shell with Hashin’s damage property. Dynamic explicit procedure which used to consider the behavior between composites laminate.Cohesive behavior is assigned as cohesive surface behavior with damage property between laminates surfaces. The boundary conditions are assigned to the rigid bodies . The quality of mesh has a good effect over the results..

After the simulation displacement,damage,stress and other results can be achievable . You can see some figures of results at below
