Pure mode II fracture characterization of composite bonded joints (2009, methodology): “In order to overcome the drawbacks of each method and exploit the usefulness of the described advantages, cohesive damage models become suitable options (Blackman et al., 2003; Andersson and Stigh, 2004; Leffler et al., 2007; de Moura, 2006).”
Crack equivalent concept applied to the fracture characterization of bonded joints under pure mode I loading (2008, methodology): “[2] used a CZM approach on Tapered Double Cantilever Beam (TDCB) and peel tests under mode I load including two parameters, Gc and σmax, to study the fracture of adhesively bonded joints.”
A fatigue degradation law for cohesive interface elements – Development and application to composite materials (2010, background): “They are also being successfully applied to predicting crack propagation along adhesive bond-lines [8,9,10,11].”
On cohesive element parameters and delamination modelling (2019, background): “In finite element (FE) analysis, this is often achieved through cohesive elements (CEs) [2-6].”
