Simple Question About Shell constituitve ( ABD) matrix
Simple Question About Shell constituitve ( ABD) matrix
(OP)
Hi All
First I would like to know that for shell (and plates?) we use and define ABD matrix like laminates or not ? is it correct that in ABD matrix calculation in the integral , in a laminate , we put the transformed matrix that it's stresses are along the fibers , cause the stresses in that direction matters
and in shell we use the stiffness matrix as it is in solid condition ?
the matrial is orthotropic
and in case that we calcualte ABD matrix , how we input it for example in Abaqus ?

but the matrix is defined 6 * 6 and I think in shell with one layer we shoul not talk about ABD so ?
but here in this paper
http://www.enu.kz/repository/2010/AIAA-2010-2706.p...
on page 4 , the ABD matrix is 8 * 8
what is taken into consideration and why is it called ABD here then ??!!

your colorado.edu reference killed me with math ! ... looking at section 32.5, i think they're refering to their own developed elements (as opposed to NASTRAN) ... their stress vector in equ 32.36 shows three normal stresses and only one (inplane) shear stress. i expected to see a 6dof vector ... normal strain x, y, z, shear strain xy, yz, zx ?
similarly your AIAA reference, the stress vector is defined in equation 1; looks like it's some proprietary code.
I'd consult the user manual of the program you want to use, so that the stress vector is compatable with this coding.

the Colorado one is a paper I found when I was searching for ABD matrix of shell in google , but it is not discussed like this in Shell and Plate theory books , but sometimes in papers
So I don't know , is the concept written on shell n plate books comply with the one in softwares' manuals ?
do they follow the same thing ?
yet I have not got the complete Idea about the ABD matrix , when it is not a Laminate , why we use the expresssion of ABD for a shell ?

can you elaborate it please ? for me , I meant before even entering the FEM , some papers mention like according to " classical model of isotropic homogeneous plates " they calculate the Stiffness matrix , and when they calculate the terms they use A , B , D terms , while the material is a one layer shell , not a laminate with fibers
