Analysis of crack formation and crack growth in concrete by means of fracture mechanics and finite elements

TLDR
In this article, fracture mechanics is introduced into finite element analysis by means of a model where stresses are assumed to act across a crack as long as it is narrowly opened, which may be regarded as a way of expressing the energy adsorption in the energy balance approach.

A nonlinear cohesive model for mixed-mode delamination of composite laminates

TL;DR: In this paper, an anisotropic nonlinear cohesive model based on continuum damage mechanics is proposed to predict the mixed-mode delamination initiation and growth of composite laminates numerically.

A coupled diffusion and cohesive zone modelling approach for numerically assessing hydrogen embrittlement of steel structures

TL;DR: In this article, a review of coupled diffusion and cohesive zone modelling is presented as a method for numerically assessing hydrogen embrittlement of a steel structure, and the model is able to reproduce single experimental results by appropriate fitting of the cohesive parameters, but there appears to be limitations in transferring these results to other hydrogen systems.

Finite cover method for progressive failure with cohesive zone fracture in heterogeneous solids and structures

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended the finite cover method for analyses of progressive failure processes involving cohesive zone fracture, starting from an interface debonding and evolving toward one of the constituents of heterogeneous solids.

Low temperature cracking of asphalt concrete pavements

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the low temperature behavior of asphalt pavements based on experimental results obtained for three mixtures used in the construction of cells 33, 34, and 35 at Mn/ROAD facility as well as field information acquired over the years.

Identification of mode-I cohesive parameters for bonded interfaces based on DCB test

TL;DR: In this paper, Valoroso et al. developed an inverse procedure for computing the material parameters of the class of intrinsic cohesive-zone models for the analysis of structural adhesive joints presented in [Valoroso N, Champaney L. 2006].
