Graphite simulation

Graphite simulation

(OP)
Does anybody have experience with FEA analysis of structural graphite material.

- what are the crucial failure modes for structural graphite.


- What safety factor is typically used with graphite.
       

RE: Graphite simulation

Try looking at the manufacturer's web site, they usually publish design guidlines and allowables. This gives the clues as to how to model it. If the information is terse, very empirical, or simply missing then chances are you have one of those tricky materials for which the methods are kept confidential.

Can't help with details.

RE: Graphite simulation

In case you would like to use the graphite as filler material, you may also want to look at:

They include graphite - matrix interactions in their FEM based analysis.

Kind Regards,

RE: Graphite simulation

You need to be much more specific about material systems, manufacturing methods and applications.
