Description

Composite Fatigue Abaqus Simulation with Subroutine

In this package, we try to teach you step-by-step, from the theory of the problem to the final results of the simulation on composite fatigue specimens. As you know, to perform this analysis using Abaqus software, we need to use UMAT subroutine writing. To get familiarity with this subroutine, you can purchase the subroutine training package of UMAT and VUMAT through our website. This training package helps you to perform the analysis easily you need in the field of Composite Fatigue Abaqus. Consequently, the following is a detailed description of this workshop. Composite fatigue Abaqus is presented here in this training package.

Introduction to Composite fatigue

Fatigue life is defined as the loading cycle’s number (stress) of a specified character. That is a specimen sustains before happening any kind of failure. We can determine the composite fatigue life by the strain, stress, or energy approach. Due to the increasing growth of science and industry, there is a need to develop advanced materials with more profits. Composite materials, due to higher efficiency and economic benefits, have become a suitable alternative to traditional materials in various industries. Therefore the development of these materials by understanding how to produce and study their properties. How to calculate the final life of fatigue for them is essential. Follow this description to understand the Composite Fatigue Abaqus capabilities and features.

 Workshop 1 part 1: Theory

In the first part of this workshop, we first mention the importance of material fatigue. To check for fatigue in composite materials, you need to know how to write subroutines. In the following, we will introduce how subroutine works. The theory that governs this subroutine writing is the theory of “Shokrieh”(for more information, you can refer to this article).

The equations in this theory are based on the “Hashin” criterion. We explained it in this package’s part. In this theory, we have dealt with how to calculate the final

composite Fatigue Life in three dimensions based on the loading cycle’s number.

Workshop 1 part 2: Subroutine writing

In this part, we have presented how to write subroutine UMAT in Fortran language based on the flowchart provided in the initial part to calculate the amount of fatigue and final composite fatigue life (Composite fatigue Umat).

Firstly, the loading method in this example is periodic and based on the number of loading cycles. We calculate the reduction of properties and their effects on the model’s life. In addition, how to define the parameters, define the initial values, and writing the relationships in Fortran code we completely taught.

Due to the fact that composite materials consist of matrix and fiber, similar conditions have been studied separately for fatigue in both material’s parts. You can watch the demo video to understand more about composite fatigue Umat applied in this training package.

Workshop 1 part 3: Implement modelling in Abaqus software

In the last part, we will go to the Abaqus software and explain how to implement the written subroutine on the model designed in the software. The required settings for each module are trained. Finally, this subroutine will be able to display the final composite fatigue life, behavior of the material, including the reduction of elastic properties, strengths along with other parameters such as stress, strain, displacement, fatigue failure criteria in different modes as output. The written subroutine can be used for a variety of complex to simple models.

If you are not familiar with this subroutine, you can see some information about this subroutine in ABAQUS documentation. However, you can get advanced teaching about these types of subroutines by purchasing these two packages   “UMAT Subroutine (VUMAT Subroutine) introduction” and Advanced UMAT subroutine(VUMAT subroutine) in ABAQUS package.

Get more basic information about composites and their damages

In comparison to metals, composites’ damage mechanisms are less well known. Composite materials and structures are susceptible to defects, whether they appear during material processing, component fabrication, or in-service use. Understanding how the damage or defect affects the structural integrity of the composite component is crucial to determining how critical the defect is. If we can somehow determine these damages and tend to them in time, the maintenance cost would be severely decreased. Also, our design will be better and well-optimized.

It’s true that the composite structures have sufficient strength and stiffness but like other structures, they may get damaged during the service. The damages could be caused by impact, low resistance to the service environment, overloading, Staff carelessness, etc.

In-service damages include:

  • Impact damage
  • Fatigue
  • Cracks
  • Delamination
  • Fiber fracturing
  • …

Service flaws in composite structures are typically caused by impact damages. Delamination is the most frequent impact-related damage. Delamination occurs when layers in a laminated composite are split, creating a mica-like structure with a considerable loss in mechanical properties. Delamination is the separation of the laminate at the boundary between two layers as a result of shock, impact, or repeated cyclic pressures. Individual fibers can pull away from the matrix, for instance.

It is the engineer’s duty to analyze the structures and determine the defects and damages so that the structure can keep working properly and lower the cost of maintenance. With the help of Computer-aided engineering (CAE) and finite element method (FEM), you would be able to do this task in the best way possible.

We are here at the CAE Assistant to explain some about composite material damage and introduce some FEM tools to simulate these damages correctly. Also, we will help you out learn how to simulate and analyze your model and structure. With our high-quality education, you can learn how to work with the Abaqus and analyze composite structures. I recommend you read the topics of this training package on the right side of this page and if you have more questions about this package and its content and quality, ask on the live chat on the left side of this page.

This tutorial teaches how to simulate damage in 3d continuum composite materials in ABAQUS. As you know, Abaqus does not have any material model for 3d composite materials. So, the user needs to write a customized subroutine to simulate damage initiation and progressive damage for composite materials in ABAQUS. In this package, one of the most practical damage initiation criteria (Hashin) is used to detect failure. It should be mentioned that this subroutine includes gradual progressive damage based on the energy method. This complex subroutine could be used for static and dynamic problems.

The fatigue simulation of short fiber composites with subroutine package is based on "Fatigue behavior and cyclic damage of peek short fiber reinforced composites"  article, and the subroutine has been implemented based on the mentioned article. However, this article has used the USDFLD subroutine, but we use the UMAT subroutine, which is more accurate than USDFLD since the material strength and properties reduction is smooth.
