Abstract

This project investigates on the maximum stress and the difference of results achieved between simulation method and experimental method. Several constitutive equations are to be determined to present the relation of stress and strain in terms of stiffness and compliance matrices. Then, analysis of deflection for a cantilever beam (single layer composite) anisotropic elastic material was developed to compare the difference between analytical results and simulation results. The simulation and experimental tensile test is brought up to compare the results of maximum stress on a carbon fiber laminated composite with and without hole. The laminate involve multi layer of lamina, placed in unidirectional and with different type of configuration. In simulation, analysis of a structure using the finite element analysis includes steps of preprocessing, processing and processing. Preprocessing begins with the construction of specimen where geometry dimension and element is created. The material was then arranged sheet by sheet to create the composite material. Processing is where boundary condition and load is applied on the specimen and post processing is the final stage where analysis is done and result is achieved. Results are compared with the experimental results to validate the simulation results.
