Stable crack propagation hinges on the driving force and the resistance. In the context of a cohesive approach to fracture, properly resolving the cohesive zone ensures that the resistance is in equilibrium with the driving force. Additional restrictions on the mesh size can stem from crack stabilit
The development of cohesive zone models in the finite element framework dates back some 30 years, and cohesive interface elements are nowadays employed as a standard tool in scientific and engineering communities. They have been successfully applied to a broad variety of different materials and load
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,
Two different approaches that explicitly incorporate the stress triaxiality into cohesive zone models applicable to thin-walled structures are compared to identify the relative merits and limitation of these models. The number of model parameters involved, the ease of parameter determination and the
