Numerical Simulation Method of Tensile Behavior of Glass Fiber Laminates

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the structural characteristics of glass fiber laminates, a novel finite element numerical model of the laminates was proposed and established with ANSYS software. The results from the FE analysis are compared with available test data in the literature [1], which indicate the numerical model is reasonable and reliable. At same time, tensile behavior and shear behavior of the glass fiber laminates was analyzed. This study can provide reference for glass fiber laminates design and calculation, and has important practical value.
