✦ Synopsis

A new two-dimensional cohesive zone model which is suitable for the prediction of mixed mode interface fracture in bimaterials is presented. The model accounts for the well known fact that the interfacial fracture toughness is not a constant, but a function of the mode mixity. Within the framework of this model, the cohesive energy and the cohesive strength are not chosen to be constant, but rather functions of the mode mixity. A polynomial cohesive zone model is derived in light of analytical and experimental observations of interface cracks. The validity of the new cohesive law is examined by analyzing double cantilever beam and Brazilian disk specimens. The methodology to determine the parameters of the model is outlined and a failure criterion for a pair of ceramic clays is suggested.

Cohesive zone model has been widely applied to simulate crack growth along interfaces, but its application to crack growth perpendicularly across the interface is rare. In this paper, the cohesive zone model is applied to a crack perpendicularly approaching a compliant/stiff interface in a layered m

Oscillations observed in the load-displacement response of brittle interfaces modeled by cohesive zone elements in a quasi-static finite element framework are artifacts of the discretization. The typical limit points in this oscillatory path can be traced by application of path-following techniques,
