Discrete cohesive zone model for mixed-mode fracture using finite element analysis (2006, background): “Furthermore, it does not require the topological information for the crack front (or the exact crack front shape) in FE implementation [22,23].”
A concise interface constitutive law for analysis of delamination and splitting in composite materials and its application to scaled notched tensile specimens (2007, methodology): “To overcome the limitation associated with the VCCT, interface elements implemented in finite element analysis have been successfully applied to numerical simulation of interlaminar fracture in composite structures [4–20].”
Analysis of FRP–concrete debonding via boundary integral equations (2008, background): “More recently, models based on a cohesive or damage zone for the simulation of fracture process are becoming more and more popular [13,4,46,2,71,18,26].”
Prediction of impact-induced delamination in cross-ply composite laminates using cohesive interface elements (2008, background): “1) indicate that, as already observed in previous studies [5,7], the simulated response of the laminates appears to be practically insensitive to the value of the interface stiffness.”
