Error in using shear panels (CSHEAR).

ahmad.altaf
ahmad.altaf over 7 years ago
I am trying to model wing spar web using "Shear panels". The model is as following:
1) skin as shell elements
2) spar cap as 1D beam elements
3) spar web as 2D shear panels
Model files and pictures are attached.
 
Issue: I have applied pressure (900*X*Y) in +z direction as a result i am getting displacements in both +z & -z direction (upper skin in positive and lower skin in -ive ) which is wrong.
Can someone help me in to sort out this problem?
 
Is there any literature available about shear panels?

    I think that shear panel elements do not have bending stiffness... so out-of-plane loads (e.g. pressure) applied to this kind of elements is not relevant; except using some tricks (PSHEAR extensiional stiffness ?) and/or superposing elements with bending stiffness.

    Yep, I have already attached beam elements on both sides of CSHEAR elements in my model.
    PHEAR extensional stifness (F1 & F2)?? How to select accurate value of F1 & F2?
