What are Short Fiber Composites? | Modeling and damage analysis in Abaqus

In this video, the short fiber composites are introduced and their advantages are explained. then an overview of the damage theory and relations are described based on an article; after that, the damage analysis in an example in Abaqus is explained. The example is done by the VUSDFLD subroutine in Abaqus.

Short fiber composites are composed of cut fibers and a matrix, creating a discontinuous material reinforced by fibers. These fibers are usually arranged in either aligned or random orientations within the matrix, depending on the specific purpose of the composite.
