Hi All,
I have received GRP data from vendor. the value I received from vendor are as below:
Axial Tensile Modulus (Eat) = 10500 MPa
Shear Modulus (G) = 11500 MPa
based on above vendor data the Ratio of Shear Modulus to Elastic modulus is 1.0952 and I am trying to update FRP material properties in CAESAR II configuration Editor.
When I am entering this value in CAESAR II configuration editor, following error message pops up "please enter a value between 0.0 to 1.0".
Please advise if its a CAESAR II error or the data received from vendor needs to be rechecked. I checked some of the old reference data and observed that axial modulus is always higher than the shear modulus.
Thanks in advance for expert advice.
