The peeling apart of layered materials is common in nature and has been used by humans
in myriad applications since prehistoric times. Over the past century, a wide range of peel …

Ice accretion has adverse effects on a range of commercial and residential activities. The
force required to remove ice from a surface is typically considered to scale with the iced …

Adhesively-bonded joints are extensively used in several fields of engineering. Cohesive
Zone Models (CZM) have been used for the strength prediction of adhesive joints, as an add …

Surfaces that can passively mitigate ice accretion have recently attracted significant interest
as an alternative to cost-intensive, active, de-icing technologies. After decades of research …

This work presents a survey of computational methods for adhesive contact focusing on
general continuum mechanical models for attractive interactions between solids that are …

The analysis of adhesively bonded joints started in 1938 with the closed-form model of
Volkersen. The equilibrium equation of a single lap joint led to a simple governing …

The discrete cohesive zone model (DCZM) is implemented using the finite element (FE)
method to simulate fracture initiation and subsequent growth when material non-linear …

In this work, an accurate and suitable data reduction scheme is developed to measure the
fracture energy of adhesive joints under pure mode I loading. The method is based on the …

A mode-dependent embedded-process-zone (EPZ) model has been developed and used to
simulate the mixed-mode fracture of plastically deforming adhesive joints. Mode-I and mode …

Delamination between a coating and a substrate is often an undesired phenomenon, for
which predictive numerical schemes are required. The interface between the coating and …
