4.1.1.4. Properties

To fulfill the ACP requirements, the materials in Ansys Workbench have some additional properties which are highlighted below.

Figure 4.4: Material Properties for ACP

Material Properties for ACP

The new properties are:

  • Ply Type: Physical behavior of the material like core, unidirectional or woven ply.

  • Strengths:

    • Orthotropic Stress Limits

    • Orthotropic Strain Limits

    • Isotropic Strain Limits

  • Composite Failure Parameters:

    • Tsai-Wu Constants

    • Puck Constants

    • LaRc03/04 Constants

    • Additional Puck Constants

    • Woven Specification for Puck.
