    Cohesive Element

    Uploaded by

    MAGED MOHMMED AHMED QASEM
    There are two main methods to model cohesive behavior in Abaqus: using cohesive elements or contact pairs. Cohesive elements can be placed at different locations within an adhesive layer, including at the interface between adhesive and substrate or in the middle. Constitutive response criteria include maximum nominal stress/strain and quadratic nominal stress/strain. Parameters for cohesive zone models include traction-separation laws and properties like maximum traction, fracture energy, and elastic stiffness, with the latter needing to be scaled based on element thickness.

    Cohesive Method

    Cohesive is a failure in the bulk layer of the adhesive or sometimes in the


    bulk. Cohesive input properties include parameters that define the stiffness,
    strength and fracture energy of the cohesive material layer in each of its three
    deformation modes.

    The cohesive behaviour can be introduced in two methods in Abqus software:

    • Modelled with cohesive element (Element based)


    • Modelledcontact pairs in Abqus/Stanadard (surface based).
    There are many possibilities for positioning the CZM
    element within the adhesive layers:
    • Treating the complete thickness of adhesive layer as the CZM
    • Putting the CZM on the interface between adhesive and substrate
    • Putting the CZM element in the middle of the adhesive layer
    • Using zero thickness interface to give an interaction property

    There are various Traction & Separation laws:


    • Linear
    • Exponential [GPa]
    • Tvergard & Hutchinson [MPa]
    [MPa]
    [N/mm]

    Maximum normal traction


    Maximum tangential traction
    [N/mm] Fracture energy mode 1
    Fracture energy mode 2
    In Abaqus, nominal stress and strain quantities
    are used for the traction separation law.
    • If unit thickness is specified for the
    element, then the nominal strain
    corresponds to the separation value.

    Elastic response governed by Enn.

    • If you specify a non-unit thickness for the


    cohesive element, you must scale your
    data to obtain the correct stiffness Enn
