One of the fundamental aspects in cohesive zone modeling is the definition of the traction-
separation relationship across fracture surfaces, which approximates the nonlinear fracture …

The interaction between stress fields at the crack-tip and nearby microstructural
heterogeneities influences the crack path, and in turn, the effective fracture toughness of a …

The cohesive zone law represents the constitutive traction versus separation response
along the crack-tip process zone of a material, which bridges the microscopic fracture …

Digital volume correlation (DVC), the volumetric extension of the popular digital image
correlation (DIC) technique, is a powerful experimental tool for measuring 3D volumetric full …

The dynamic tensile mechanical response of a soft polymer material (Clear Flex 75) is
investigated using a split Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB). Stress-strain relations are derived …

In this study, sustainable polyurethane-based polymer rubber concrete (PU-based PRC)
was prepared using crumb rubber (CR) and ground glass fiber (GGF) particles for road …

Here, we report measurements of detailed dynamic cohesive properties (DCPs) beyond the
dynamic fracture toughness of a bicontinuously nanostructured copolymer, polyurea, under …

A novel methodology to predict the tensile properties of viscoelastic materials as a
synergistic function of temperature and loading/displacement rate is presented in this paper …

Currently no systematic approach exists to explicitly quantify the combined effects of
anisotropic grain orientations and grain boundary behavior on the fracture of polycrystalline …

Cohesive fracture model is well known for obtaining a concise interpretation on the
underlying mechanism of failure in the near-crack-tip field, especially in concrete and rock …
