Mechanical behavior of unidirectional fiber-reinforced polymers under transverse compression: Microscopic mechanisms and modeling (2007, methodology): “Fiber/matrix decohesion was introduced by means of interface elements whose behavior is controlled by a cohesive crack model, a standard technique in the computational micromechanics of composites (29; 30; 31; 32).”
A local finite element implementation for imposing periodic boundary conditions on composite micromechanical models (2007, background): “Segurado and Llorca (2004) have developed a new three-dimensional quadratic interface element consisting of two six-noded triangular surfaces that initially lie together and connect the faces of adjacent tetrahedra.”
A non‐linear interface element for 3D mesoscale analysis of brick‐masonry structures (2011, methodology): “Interface elements were initially employed for simulating discontinuities in rock mechanics [1] and cracks in brittle materials like concrete [2], while more recently they have been used to model delamination and fracture in multi-layered composites [3,4].”
