Topic: Anisotropic CFRP

Hello,

I want to model an anchorage system for CFRP. So i need an anisotropic materialto show the lateral pressure in the fiber.
What can I do?


Thank you !

Re: Anisotropic CFRP

Hello, please see ATENA Troubleshooting, 2.2.2 How to model carbon or glass fibre wrap (CFRP, GFRP) strengthening in ATENA? for basic ideas on modelling CFRP.
If you think none of the recommended modellings is appropriate for your analysis, please send us sketches + explanation of what you are modelling (Troubleshooting, 2.1.1) such that we can help you to find a solution.

I think also Troubleshooting, 2.2.10 How can I take the bending and/or shear contribution of reinforcement bars into account? might help you understand some of the related aspects of modelling in ATENA.
