Hello

I am using Abaqus/CAE 6.10 to simulate a Debonding test (cohesive behavior for composite delamination). 
I ran a Abaqus debonding simulation example (from Abaqus online documentation - Abaqus Benchmark Manual - 2.7.1 Delamination analysis of laminated composites).

The Abaqus/Explicit three-dimensional model with surface-based traction-separation behavior used a surface contact interaction property with:
- default Cohesive behavior

Experiments in anti-plane deformation of thin films

out of plane deformation

Dear all,

I was curious whether there are any
experimental information and / or results regarding the out of plane (anti-plane)
deformation of (very) thin films. For example an elastic thin film subjected to anti-plane loading on its surface. Any other suggestions regarding possible applications of anti-plane loading conditions in thin films would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks a lot,

Thanasis
