• A fracture criterion for sharp V-notched samples (2003, background): “The purpose of this paper is to investigate the suitability of this fracture criterion for a wide range of brittle, or quasi brittle materials, whose fracture behaviour can be adequately modelled using the cohesive crack concept ( Elices et al., 2002 ).”
• Prediction of ductile crack formation in uncracked bodies (2003, methodology): “[54] presented an inverse procedure to determine parameters of a bilinear softening function which is often introduced in concrete and other cementitious materials.”

• A fracture criterion for blunted V-notched samples (2004, background): “The only requirement for computing the fracture load is the suitability of the cohesive model that works well with brittle and quasi-brittle materials, as shown by Bazant and Planas (1998), and has good prospects for materials with more complex behaviour ( Elices et al., 2002; Bazant and Zi, 2003; ”
• A high‐order generalized FEM for through‐the‐thickness branched cracks (2007, neutral): “Further, cohesive or frictional contact laws [21, 40–52] can be incorporated by appropriate modifications of the formulation reported in [6, Sec.”
• Cohesive models for damage evolution in laminated composites (2005, methodology): “This type of model has been widely used for studying the so-called quasi-brittle fracture process zone, which arises prior to complete fracture in, e.g., concrete materials and macromolecular based polymer materials (Xu and Needleman, 1994; de Borst, 2002; Elices et al., 2002 ).”

• Accurate simulation of delamination growth under mixed-mode loading using cohesive elements: Definition of interlaminar strengths and elastic stiffness (2010, background): “[35,36] have clearly explained that a constitutive model relating tractions to displacement jumps is valid when cohesive cracks already exist or in a singular surface, but have limitations otherwise.”
