Numerical Study on Cohesive Zone Elements for Static and Time Dependent Damage and its Application in Pipeline Failure Analysis

abstract: Cohesive zone model is one of the most widely used model for fracture analysis, but still remains open ended field for research. The earlier works using the cohesive zone model and Extended finite element analysis (XFEM) have been briefly introduced followed by an elaborate elucidation of...
