I am trying to simulate the low velocity impact on composite laminate. For that if I am giving instantaneous velocity for rigid tup, abaqus is not considering the impact velocity change with the dynamics and resistance of materials..
I am trying to simulate the impact on composite laminate. I enclosed the model for that. My doubt is that, if I am giving the initial velocity in step-1 without any amplitudes, the output plot for velocity-time plot is constant. and acceleration is zero. To simulate the actual physics of impact i think there must be a model that can give the information for velocity-time or force-time plots as input for abaqus.. Is any one help me in that aspect..
