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 …

A generalized potential-based constitutive model for mixed-mode cohesive fracture is
presented in conjunction with physical parameters such as fracture energy, cohesive …

The accuracy of an adopted cohesive zone model (CZM) can affect the simulated fracture
response significantly. The CZM has been usually obtained using global experimental …

Cohesive zone models are explored in order to study cleavage fracture in adhesive bonded
joints. A mode I cohesive model is defined which correlates the tensile traction and the …

Interaction between the delamination and postbuckling of composite laminates under
compressive load is an important issue. The evolving profile of nonlinear fracture process …

Bone is a hierarchical material that exhibit fracture mechanisms at multiple scales and will
benefit from a multiscale evaluation approach for better fracture risk assessment. This study …

The use of nanoindentation to study asphalt is aimed at understanding the relationship
between properties of asphalt binder at various length scales. A combination of atomic force …

A large-deformation, isogeometric rotation-free Kirchhoff–Love shell formulation is equipped
with a damage model to efficiently and accurately simulate progressive failure in laminated …

The present work develops cohesive zone models (CZM), ie cohesion-separation laws, for
mode I fractures in different rank coals, including weakly caking coals, gas coals, fat coals …

Unlike most cohesive zone models (CZMs), the Park–Paulino–Roesler (PPR) cohesive
fracture model has the inherent ability to control the softening shape of the traction …
