Differences between cohesive/interface/embedded process zone
I am PhD student and i'm working on the behavior of bonded joints under impact and i have one question :What are the differences between a cohesive element, an interface element and a embedded process zone element ? Do they have fundamental differences or it's only a difference of the cohesive law expression.
Loading problems in simulate crack propagation with cohesive element
Hi all:
When I simulate a crack propagate along interface between film and substrate with cohesive element, different load-deflection curves of film were achieved when I applied load or displacement on film, respectively. I think it should achieve same results regardless which kind of load I selected. Please help me find what’s wrong with my simulation.
