Simulation dynamic four points bending of the timber wood beam reinfroced with CFRP rod and Glue in Abaqus

In this tutorial, the Simulation dynamic four points bending of the timber wood beam reinfroced with CFRP rod and Gluein Abaqus  has been investigated. The wood beam is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part with two compression and tension sections. The adhesive and CFRP rod also is modeled as three-dimensional solid part. You can see a figure of the assembled parts below

Timber is wood used for buildings. Being wood a porous and fibrous structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees.Timber is a heterogeneous, hygroscopic, cellular and anisotropic material, and being a biologic material, can be biodegraded by biotic agents. Being timber the oldest building material able to transfer tension and compression forces, it has been used to design beams since old times. It has a very strength to weight ratio, it is relatively easy to fabricate, it does not corrode, and its carbon footprint is quite small in comparison to other building materials such as concrete or steel, as both need a lot of energy to extract the raw materials.As the growing of tress is positive for the environment, timber is the most sustainable structural material. Nowadays, timber beams can be made by Solid Timber or Glued Laminated Timber. This document is focus in Solid Timber

Material of wood and CFRP tapes is Elastic/Engineering Constants and Plastic/Isotropic with Potential. Adding Potential option enables to define strength in respective directions using Hill’s function coefficients.Material of adhesive layers is Elastic/Traction and Quads Damage. The described example assumes properties for polyurethane (PUR) glue. Both static and dynamic step can be selected, but in this tutorial to reduce the time of the simulation, dynamic explicit step with a mass scale is use. The perfect contact is assume between the adhesive and CFRP, adhesive and wood beam. The surface to srface contact algorithm with contact property is consider for all other contacts. The fixed boundary condition and displacement as load is applied to the rigid bodeis. The mesh should be fine to obtain the correct results

After the simultion, all results are avaiable, you can see some figures for the results below
