Progressive Damage in Composites

Overview

In this workshop, we will model an open hole tension test on a composite laminate and demonstrate the use of material stiffness degradation to capture damage evolution.

Prerequisites

  • Introduction to Ansys Composite PrepPost (ACP)

Learning Outcome

Following completion of this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Understand the Ansys Workbench workflow to simulate the progression of composite failure.
  • Define the material model which accounts for damage initiation and damage progression.
  • Run the nonlinear simulation with material damage progression.
  • Postprocess the simulation results at different time steps by means of damage status and damage type to assess damage evolution. 
  • Use the Composite Failure tool to assess the remaining safety factors after damage occurs.

Agenda

This course is not intended to be scheduled and will not be delivered as a virtual class.

The approximate time estimated for completion of this workshop is 1-hour.

Topics Covered:

  • Progressive Damage
