Finite Element Analysis of Composite Laminate By Using ABDH Matrix(Stiffness Matrix)

Abstract

Composite laminate have been increasingly used in various field, Predicting and preventing failure of composite becomes impotent aspect now days. This paper is devoted to introduction of ABDH Matrix which is Stiffness Matrix for composite laminate. By using help of stiffness matrix stress and Deformation can be easily find out. ABDH Matrix can be finding out easily by mathematically, but it is very complicated to find for composite laminate with maximum number of ply. So that to find ABDH matrix in minimum time CADEC 10 Software is used. This Stiffness matrix is dependent upon number of layer, thickness, and orientation and material properties.
