Modelling of Fiber Metal Laminate (Aluminum + GFRP) using ABAQUS via VUMAT and Ductile Damage Criteria

Description

Hey there! Are you interested in learning how to create the perfect Fiber metal laminate composite? Well, you’re in luck! In this video, I’m going to show you how to model and test FML composites for Aluminium and GFRP material under tensile testing.

The model use the Subroutine code VUMAT based on Hashin’s instant damage criteria to model the GFRP While ductile damage criteria is used to model the Aluminium. The GFRP is tested with various lay stacking sequence and the damage extent for differnt lay up orientation i.e. 0° and 90° and is evaluated.
