Workshop Objectives Linear buckling analysis Post-buckling analysis Software Version Patran 2010.2.3 MD Nastran 2011 Required No Supporting file is required Problem Description The simulation is to use 3D solid finite elements. The elements are uniformly spaced along the length of the beam (i.e. a mesh 100 elements wide and four elements deep).
WS4-3
Problem Description
A nine-layer composite square plate (10 in. X 10 in.) is subjected to uniaxial compressive edge load (400 lbf/in). The edges of the plate are simply supported in bending, but free to move in-plane. The thicknesses and the fiber orientations of the layers are given below. Calculate the bifurcation buckling load, and the post-buckling behavior of the plate.
The material properties for all the layers are as follows: E11 = 40.E6 psi ; E22 = 1.E6 psi NU12 = 0.25
G12 = G13 = 0.6E6 psi

G23 = 0.5E6 psi
Due to symmetrical geometry, lamination sequence, and orientations, only a quarter of the model is modeled here, using a 10X10 quad4 mesh.

Then, you can click and drag or click and shift-click to select the Result Cases to plot (b), as shown here.
WS4-37
Step 16. Create Graph (Cont.)
The ideal amount of normal force to apply is unknown it needs to be large enough to force an instability, but small enough to have little effect on the suddenness of the instability feel free to experiment with smaller values if you have time and see the effect on this curve.
This deflection vs. Load Curve predicted by MD Nastran agrees well with that obtained by Noor and Hartley (Nonlinear Shell Analysis via Mixed Isoparametric Elements, Computers and Structures, Vol. 7, 1977, pp. 615-626).
