In this paper, a trilinear cohesive zone modeling approach available in the explicit nonlinear
finite element software LS-DYNA is used to model the dynamic impact failure of an adhesive …

Digital-image correlation (DIC) is used to analyze an adhesively-bonded double-cantilever
beam (DCB), and to determine the traction-separation law for a cohesive-zone model. The …

In offshore structures, the need to replace or strengthen existing metal components arises
over time. One possible solution is the use of bonded connections. Nevertheless, the …

The Mode I fracture behaviour of adhesive joints, bonded with two different epoxies, was
evaluated applying the direct method to obtain the tensile cohesive law, together with Digital …

With adhesive bonding, design can be oriented towards lighter structures because of the
direct weight savings over fastened or welded joints and also due to the flexibility to joint …

Cracks and corrosion in pipelines can occur simultaneously, representing a hybrid defect
known as cracks in corrosion (CIC), which is often difficult to model using the available …

The cohesive zone law represents the constitutive traction versus separation response
along the crack-tip process zone of a material, which bridges the microscopic fracture …

Unlike micromechanics failure models that have a well-defined crack path, phase-field
fracture models are capable of predicting the crack path in arbitrary geometries and …

In this work, an approach using meso-scale RVEs was proposed to obtain cohesive
parameters for mode I interfacial failure of bonding between Ti-6Al-4 V and CFRTP. Hereby …

Adhesive bonding of polyethylene gas pipelines is receiving increasing attention as a
replacement for traditional electrofusion welding due to its potential to produce rapid and …
