I would like to estimate the fatigue life of the composite through numerical simulation. please help me with how to write code for low cycle fatigue in Abaqus.
Hi, Manikanta Reddy In the first step, you need to determine which type of composite you are considering for fatigue. Composites are divided into unidirectional types, needles, woven and so on. After selecting the type of composite based on the available theories, each can be applied. For example, Shokrieh has been proposed composite materials fatigue that predicts the final life as well as the progressive failure. There are various other methods that have been used in our academic and industrial previous projects. The important thing for you is to choose the model first. Technically, it is usually based on increasing the force in the first step to the maximum load of fatigue loading and in the second step the fatigue equations are applied.
