What is the maximum element size in a FEA involving Lamb waves propagating in a composite?

I know that for isotropic materials, a rule for the maximum element size L_max is: L_max < lambda_min / 10 where lambda_min is the min. wavelength, defined as: lambda_min = c_T /...

What is the correct layup notation for a laminate which contains a biaxial non-crimp fabric (NCF)?

The layup contains a biaxial non-crimp fabric (NCF) with orientations +45° and -45°. Would the correct notation be [(± 45)ncf ] , or should the fabric be noted like two separate unidirectional...

Is any data available as to the angular dependence of Young's modulus in carbon/epoxy 2x2 twills?

I used analytical methods to find that the Young's moduli in wrap (0°) and fill (90°) direction of a carbon-fiber/epoxy twill are Ex=Ey=57 GPa. This, however, means that, when rotating the twill...

In Abaqus, is it possible to remove some elements from a sequence obtained by getByBoundingBox() ?

Basically, I tried to do the following: >>> p1 = p.edges.getByBoundingBox(-1,-1,-1,1,1,1) >>> p2 = p.edges.getByBoundingBox(-0.26,-0.26,-1,0.26,0.26,1) >>> pickededges...

When does Abaqus use the Total Lagrangian and when the Updated Lagrangian formulation?

Total and Updated Lagrangian formulations are generally available for both the implicit and nonlinear explicit dynamic analysis. But when is which applied? Does Abaqus mix them?
