crack propagation analysis

Hello Everyone,

I have been working on solving contact problems relating to fibrillar adhesives over the past 3 yrs of my PhD work. In the past, I used Comsol FEM to model contact interactions by implementing the Dugdale-Barenblatt traction separation law at the contact interface. 

Dear All,

Greetings to you. I am M. Faisal Riyad from Bangladesh. I am going to assist one of my professor in his research. The research will about crack propagation analysis. He asked me to learn about the cohesive zone modelling approach in ANSYS. I am searching for some good articles to learn from the beginning. I would be very grateful to you if anyone help me to find the articles or any other way to learn about cohesize zone approach in ANSYS.

Thanks,

Faisal
