Hi,
I'm doing composite simulation with Optistruct and I'm using 'Inter-laminar' stress; I would like to say, if it's possible, how the software consider it.
Thanks
Are you talking about inter laminar shear stress?
Inter laminar shear stress/ allowable shear stress are used to calculate bonding indices/ bond failure.
You can think of a scenario where delamination takes place.
