Cohesive Zone Model

XFEM to couple nonlocal micromechanics damage with discrete mode I cohesive fracture
A computational tool is developed to simulate the propagation of a discrete fracture within a continuum damage process zone. Microcrack …

Computational model coupling mode II discrete fracture propagation with continuum damage zone evolution
We propose a numerical method that couples a cohesive zone model (CZM) and a finite element-based continuum damage mechanics (CDM) …
