Modelling a Co-Bonding between Volume and Shell Elements to extract Shear Stresses (using Abaqus)
Modelling a Co-Bonding between Volume and Shell Elements to extract Shear Stresses (using Abaqus)
(OP)
I currently try to model a complex shaped metal part which is co-bonded to a composite layup. The metal part is modelled using 3D tet mesh and the composite is modelled using shell elements (with composite material property). I did already run the model by simply putting a "tie" between the tet (metal) and the shell (composite) mesh.
However, I should somehow extract the contact stress (shear stress, peel stress) between the composite and metal to make a comparison to experimental data I have.
Any suggestions how that could be performed? (I'm using Abaqus 6.14).
Thanks in advance,
Garm

Or define a contact behavior with Friction=Rough and No Separation and use that in a contact pair.
