What are the regular iteration steps of cohesive model based FEM for crack problems

Submitted by Wen Ye on

   Hi, 
         I'm now start to learn cohesive zone model based FEM for crack problems. According the a regular coehsize model (bilinear for example), the relative displacement and the cohesive stress are both unknwon, so iteration is required. My question is that what are the regular iteration steps?
 
Thanks.
