Calculating Contact Force & Plate Stiffness of Composite Laminated Plate

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Abdul Nazeer seeks assistance in calculating the contact force exerted by a sphere impacting a composite laminated plate, as well as determining the plate's stiffness and deflections over time. The discussion emphasizes the need for precise calculations in composite materials under impact conditions. Key methods and tools for these calculations include finite element analysis (FEA) and specific material properties of the composite laminate.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of composite material properties
  • Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) tools
  • Knowledge of impact mechanics
  • Basic principles of structural dynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research finite element analysis software such as ANSYS or Abaqus for impact simulations
  • Study the mechanics of composite materials to understand their behavior under load
  • Learn about calculating contact forces in impact scenarios
  • Investigate methods for measuring deflection in laminated plates over time
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, researchers, and students involved in materials science, structural engineering, and impact analysis of composite materials will benefit from this discussion.

hi.. This is abdul I am carrying a impact of sphere on a composite laminated plate. i wanted to calculate the contact force when sphere impacts the plate.. or can anyone help me how to get the stiffness of plate.. or deflections in plate.. with respect to time
Thanking you

Your help will be appricated
Regards
