Procedures Involved in The Ansys ACP17.2

The document describes a tensile analysis simulation of a glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite material using ANSYS. The objective is to determine the maximum deformation of a composite specimen fixed at one end and loaded with 1000 N of axial force at the other end. The procedure involves modeling the specimen geometry and material properties in ANSYS ACP, generating the mesh and fabric layout, coupling to ANSYS static structural, applying boundary conditions, and solving for total deformation and strain energy results.

Title of the exercise : Tensile Analysis on Composite Material using Ansys


ACP 17.2

_______________________________________________________________________

STEP 1: INTRODUCTION

a) OBJECTIVE OF THE EXERCISE


 To determine the maximum deformation on the GFRP Composite material, which has been
fixed at one end and other end is loaded with axial load of 1000 N.

STEP 2: ACQUISITION

a) Facilities required to do the exercise:


ANSYS ACP – 17.2

b) Problem Description:
Tensile test is comes under normal test, which is used to estimate the mechanical properties of
the given test specimen. In this simulation, the tensile test specimen is modelled with the help of
ASTM D3039 also planned to construct composite laminate, in which five carbon fiber layers and
epoxy resin are the major contributors. The detailed pictorial representation has been shown in the
figure 1.

 Generate surface : Concept - surface from Edges - select sketc1 - enter 0 in


thickness.
 After this process, green tick enabled in Geometry to educate about its
process completion.

6. Double click on Model in order to execute discretization process.


 Assign thickness and reinforcement material to the modeled physical
object.
 Generate Mesh
 After this process, green tick enabled in Model to educate about its process
completion.

7. Enable main contribution of composites (reinforcement and matrix ) and then


Create Fabric in ANSYS ACP Pre 16.2, which are shown in the below diagram.

14. With the help of on-way coupling, link set-up of ANSYS ACP 16. 2 to Model of
Static Structural.

15. Static structural---support---fixed support----click on one end of the test specimen-


---apply
16. Static Structural----force----click on the other end---1000N---apply
17. Click solution---total deformation---solve
18. Note the maximum and minimum displacements
