Some research on finite element analysis of composite materials

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to verify the accuracy of composite materials data input into ANSYS Parametric Design Language for the numerical analysis. For this purpose, some specimens of the laminated composite were subjected to a bending moment and the deformations were measured. At the same time, the data obtained by simulating the specimens with the help of ANSYS APDL, were analyzed and compared to the experimental data in order to establish the degree of the accuracy.
