Modeling balsa wood properties in Abaqus

Modeling balsa wood properties in Abaqus

Modeling balsa wood properties in Abaqus

(OP)
Hi, i need to model a composite sandwich structure panel with Abaqus 6.9.2.

It's a T-joint under pull-out testing. The core is made of balsa wood (density 155 Kg/m3).

I have the model finished, but i still have to write the properties for the balsa wood (to get the cracks evolution) and i don't know how to do it. I read in Abaqus Documentation that balsa wood can be modeled with *CRUSHABLE FOAM, adn *CRUSHABLE FOAM HARDENING, but i don't know the parameters i must use.

If someone of you has worked with this material, i would like to be sent the input file.

Thanks in advance!

Fran
