Research of Finite Element Models of Fiber Reinforced Layered Composite Materials

Abstract

Two types of volumetric finite element models are considered: one as a solid body divided into a specified number of layers, and the other as a body in the form of a multilayer shell with a defined surface, taking into account the complex structure of dispersed bidirectional polymer multilayer composite materials: epoxy fiberglass and epoxy carbon fiber. Comparative analysis of the proposed models is conducted.
