Dear All, there are two channels for you to follow our research. 

1. We started a newsletter called Thoughts on Composites Modeling on LinkedIn. Please subscribe to it to get informed about our research and ideas we want to share with the community.

2. We moved our discussion forum to github at wenbinyugroup · Discussions · GitHub as it has more features which can serve you better.

How to do homogenization for tube in abaqus

  1. Mike 5730 Cy

    Dear Colleagues,
    Please tell how to make a model to determine the homogeneous properties of a laminated pipe to compare with published data. I tried to follow the iVABS example ex_tube, but without success: nothing even close to the results presented in the article.
    Publication: (PDF) Homogenization and Stress Analysis of Multilayered Composite Offshore Production Risers (www.researchgate.net/publication/258567273)
    Geometry (Table 2):
    Model A1;   Layup [30/-30]; Inner radius=48 mm, Outer radius=50 mm (Layer thickness=1 mm)
    Material (boron/epoxy) properties:
    E1=33.30 msi; E2=E3=3.30 msi; nu23=0.32; nu12=nu13=0.26; G23=0.50 msi; G12=G13=0.80 msi
    Results (Table 3):
    Er=23.557 GPa; Et=17.524 GPa; Ez=71.649 GPa
    Gtz=46.776 GPa; Grz=4.798 GPa; Grt=3.805 GPa
    NUtz=0.343; NUrz=-0.041; NUrt=0.291

    Please share the abaqus rec-file if possible.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Regards,
    Mike
