In recent years, cohesive elements based on the cohesive zone model (CZM) have been increasingly used within finite element analyses of adhesively bonded joints to predict failure. The cohesive element approach has advantages over fracture mechanics... Read More about Modelling damage and failure in adhesive joints using a combined XFEM-cohesive element methodology.
