This article surveys existing cohesive zone models (CZM) and their use in numerical
simulations for analysis impacts on composite structures and predicting the damage …

Soft materials have been widely used in soft robots, biomedicine, flexible electronics, and
other fields. In practical applications, soft materials often need to be adhered to different …

Given such advantages as low weight compared to strength and toughness, laminated
composites are now used in a wide range of applications. Their increasing use has …

Numerical investigations are conducted to simulate high-speed crack propagation in pre-
strained PMMA plates. In the simulations, the dynamic material separation is explicitly …

An extended Kalman filter (EKF) approach is adopted in this paper for structural systems
subject to dynamic loadings to simultaneously estimate the state and calibrate constitutive …

The cohesive zone model (CZM) has been extensively utilized to investigate the cohesive
failure of the soft adhesive layer. This paper has proposed a modified CZM considering the …

The Interface damage has become one of the most critical issues for ballastless tracks,
which is a severe challenge to the rapid development of high speed railway. This paper …

A generalized rate-dependent cohesive zone model for describing the interfacial
viscoelasticity and progressive damage of mode I fracture is presented. The proposed model …

A cohesive interface model formulated within the framework of damage mechanics is
presented for the simulation of decohesion in adhesively bonded assemblies. Characteristic …

We present and compare the joint and dual variants of the extended Kalman filter for
coupled state and parameter identification problems. With reference to nonlinear dynamics …
