Cohesive zone model

Submitted by Intissar on

Hi, 

I'm actually working on numerical modeling of  damage in adhesively bonded joints.  I found three basic approaches for it in litterature 

_Continuum approcha

_local approach

_Hybrid CZM_ XFEM approach

I'm trying a model on local approach, but i faced a problem which consits of overlapping continuum adhesive layer and adherends elements when cohesive elements get fully damaged

I need a suggenstion on how to hadnle this problem.

Thanks in advance
