Title of the exercise : Tensile Analysis on Composite Material using Ansys


ACP 17.2

_______________________________________________________________________

STEP 1: INTRODUCTION

a) OBJECTIVE OF THE EXERCISE


 To determine the maximum deformation on the GFRP Composite material, which has been
fixed at one end and other end is loaded with axial load of 1000 N.

STEP 2: ACQUISITION

a) Facilities required to do the exercise:


ANSYS ACP – 17.2

b) Problem Description:
Tensile test is comes under normal test, which is used to estimate the mechanical properties of
the given test specimen. In this simulation, the tensile test specimen is modelled with the help of
ASTM D3039 also planned to construct composite laminate, in which five carbon fiber layers and
epoxy resin are the major contributors. The detailed pictorial representation has been shown in the
figure 1.

c) Procedure for doing the exercise:


1. Open “ ANSYS ACP (Pre) - 17.2”

2. Double Click on "Engineering Data" in order to edit matrix and reinforcement


properties.

3. Select Composite Materials, in which select E-Glass UD and Epoxy Resin for test
specimen

4. Double click on geometry and then click look at option in XY plane.

5. Create Test Specimen in design modeler tool, in which the ASTM D3039
provides the dimensional information.

 Generate Tensile test specimen with the help of line tool in design modeler
and named as sketch1.

 Generate surface : Concept - surface from Edges - select sketc1 - enter 0 in


thickness.
 After this process, green tick enabled in Geometry to educate about its
process completion.

6. Double click on Model in order to execute discretization process.


 Assign thickness and reinforcement material to the modeled physical
object.
 Generate Mesh
 After this process, green tick enabled in Model to educate about its process
completion.

7. Enable main contribution of composites (reinforcement and matrix ) and then


Create Fabric in ANSYS ACP Pre 16.2, which are shown in the below diagram.

 In the fabric option, the properties of fiber such as directional young's


modulus, bulk modulus are assigned, which are shown in the below
diagram

8. Generate Elements, which will be used for entire set-up (laminate).

9. Generate Rosette - provide the directional information to the fiber. In the below
diagram, red arrow shows the fiber direction, which is executed with the help of
rosette.

10. Generate Oriented Selection set - provide the directional information to the
laminate. In the below diagram, dark pink arrow shows the laminate direction,
which is executed with the help of Oriented Selection set.

11. Generate Modeling Groups - In which, the number of fibers with different
orientation can be easily executed, which are revealed in the next diagram.

Prof. Vijayanandh R, AP, AERO, KCT.

12. Generate Solid model, in which include the matrix as join material in-between the
fibers.

13. After this step, the green tick is enabled in set-up menu, which will be ready for
coupling.

Prof. Vijayanandh R, AP, AERO, KCT.

14. With the help of on-way coupling, link set-up of ANSYS ACP 16. 2 to Model of
Static Structural.

15. Static structural---support---fixed support----click on one end of the test specimen-


---apply
16. Static Structural----force----click on the other end---1000N---apply
17. Click solution---total deformation---solve
18. Note the maximum and minimum displacements

STEP 3: RESULT
