In this problem, we will try to show how to analyze the local-global fields in composite structures using SwiftComp-Abaqus-GUI.
The figure below can summarize how to do the local global analysis.
Let the material properties a fiber (T300) property be: : E11=230 GPA, E22=15 GPA, v12=0.20, v23=0.0714, G12=15GPa, G7=3.928GPa.
and matrix (3501-6 epoxy) be: E =4.2GP, ν=0.34
