The roles of toughness and cohesive strength on crack deflection at interfaces (2006, background): “The ability to specify the mode-I and mode-II strength and toughness values independently appears to be necessary to capture some experimental results [56] [57] [58].”
The influence of adhesive constitutive parameters in cohesive zone finite element models of adhesively bonded joints (2009, methodology): “Continuous cohesive zone method (Kafkalidis and Thouless, 2002; Xie et al., 2005b; Li et al., 2005, 2006; Valoroso and Champaney, 2006), discrete cohesive zone method (Hillerborg et al.”
An improved description of the exponential Xu and Needleman cohesive zone law for mixed-mode decohesion (2006, methodology): “With the mode-I and mode-II parameters known, a mixed-mode cohesive zone model was formulated and the fracture of adhesive joints under mixed-mode loading conditions was successfully simulated [ 22 ,26,45].”
A review on failure theories and simulation models for adhesive joints (2021, methodology): “As mentioned, the method is applied through traction-separation laws which can have various forms such as triangular, [150] linear-parabolic, [151] polynomial, [152] exponential([153]) and trapezoidal .([154]) CZM approach has been successfully used by numerous authors for the simulation of delamina”
Modelling adhesive joints with cohesive zone models: effect of the cohesive law shape of the adhesive layer (2013, background): “Since the energy required for crack growth is averaged over the damaged area, results are mesh independent provided that a minimum refinement is used, more specifically if a minimum of three to four elements are undergoing the softening process at the damage front [21,44].”
Interfacial stress analysis and prediction of debonding for a thin plate bonded to a curved substrate (2009, methodology): “A mixed-mode failure criterion is introduced, see e.g. Kafkalidis and Thouless (2002), and Li et al. (2006).”
Use of a cohesive-zone model to analyze the fracture of a fiber-reinforced polymer-matrix composite (2005, background): “Similar observations that the numerical instabilities can be identified with physical instabilities in the real system have been made in related cohesive-zone studies [17,48,49].”
Use of mode-I cohesive-zone models to describe the fracture of an adhesively-bonded polymer-matrix composite (2005, methodology): “Failure of adhesive joints subjected to both linear and non-linear deformations of the adherends has been studied using these techniques [13,27,31,32], as have the fracture and delamination of laminated composites [22–24].”
