Cohesive zone models: a critical review of traction-separation relationships across fracture surfaces

K Park, GH Paulino - Applied Mechanics Reviews, 2011 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
One of the fundamental aspects in cohesive zone modeling is the definition of the traction-
separation relationship across fracture surfaces, which approximates the nonlinear fracture …

On three-dimensional modelling of crack growth using partition of unity methods

[BOOK][B] Computational contact mechanics

P Wriggers, TA Laursen - 2006 - Springer
Contact mechanics has its application in many engineering problems. No one can walk
without frictional contact, and no car would move for the same reason. Hence contact …

Numerical simulations of fast crack growth in brittle solids
