The effect of the stress-relative displacement law on failure predictions using the cohesive zone model

摘要

Barenblatt has pioneered the use of the cohesivezone model to quantify the effect on material nonlinearity on thefracture behaviour of materials. As a bribute to his outstandingcontributions in the fracture field, the paper appraises the effectof the stress-relative displacement law on failure predictionsusing the cohesive zone model.
