Hi everyone,
I am currently doing my simulation project using Abaqus. But I dont know how to get the Young's Modulus for the whole structure. All this while, I chose an element from the whole structure to extract the XY data for stress and strain. Is this the correct way to do so or is there anything I can do obtain the Young's Modulus?
Thank you for answering my question.
Hi Nur Syahirah Mustafa
I don't know why you need to get the Young's modulus. Generally, we get stress, strain, displacements or some type of loads. From these data you can calculate the slope to obtain the E.
best regards
Dear Dr. Quang Thang Do
Thank you for answering my question. I did get the stress and strain for the structure, and calculated the slope to obtain the E.
However, I am just getting confused if the stress and strain obtained from that chosen element is the same with the whole structure?
I suggest following the procedure reported in the book "Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials using Abaqus™" by Ever J. Barbero.
In Chapter 6, "Computational Micromechanics", the author shows, step by step, an example of how to obtain the terms you are looking for.
