Applicable FEM Models for Layered Beams

We need to create appropriate and effective numerical (FEM) model to optimize properties of a composite product. The creation and evaluation of an efficient numerical model that could be used for an analysis of layered composite is the aim of this work. The model has to be able to take into account the properties and layout of the individual layers and must allow effective change of these parameters; thickness, material and number of layers especially. Various models of the same product are created and compared. The models differ in the type of used FEM elements. The results of models (deformation primarily) were compared with the result of analytical computation. Further, time and computational requirements of individual models are also evaluated. Element types used for investigated models are: 1D elements, 2D plane stress solid elements, 2D plane strain solid elements and shell elements. Models created form 1D and shell elements showed a close agreement with the analytical solution, and they provide the appropriate tools for the definition of layered structures and for the analysis of results.
