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.

Predictions of ABD matrices and 3D effective properties of composite laminates

Based on type of microstructure and the original model of structure, we can select suitable structure genome (SG) to perform the predictions of effective properties of composite laminates. This cane be either the predictions of ABD matrix or 3D effective properties of composite laminates.

Let the material properties a Lamina be: AS4 3501-6: E11=126 GPA, E22=11 GPA, v12=0.28, v23=0.4, G12=6.6GPa.

The laminate lay-up: [0/90/±45]2s Thickness=0.0025.

Major steps to obtain the ABD matrix for composite Lmainates using SwiftComp Abaqus Step 1: a. Input material properties as elastic and engineering constants as shown in figure problem-1A.
