Rule of Mixtures Composite query
Rule of Mixtures Composite query
(OP)
Hi All,
Making a 3D sandwich panel in Patran with plies simulated by 3D hex8 elements, I've thought a question about the reverse stack fabric. I mean, if the upper external solid has built through 4 plies [mat1/mat2/mat3/mat4], how can I reverse the stack [mat4/mat3/mat2/mat1] to make the last solid?
I've tried to create a new coordinate set which upside-down the normal coord, in this way the sequence should be the opposite. Is this right?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
Regards.

What does this have to do with the rule of mixtures?

I don't know what your goal is, but carpet plots would be a quick way to start if you want to use the solid to represent the facesheet stiffness. You could also use an orthotropic shell for the facesheet instead of the hex. There are many options.
