Cohesive Models of Fracture

 

Organized by W. Brocks

 

 

Introducing a cohesive zone ahead of a crack tip where the micromechanical processes of separation occur, is a classical approach in fracture mechanics. Together with the growing importance of numerical simulations in materials mechanics and the rising capabilities of computers and computer codes, cohesive models have found increasing interest and applications. They have not only become versatile and effective tools for numerical simulations of various separation phenomena in solids but also reveal new potentialities for advanced material characterization. Quantities which have been unmeasurable in the past, as e.g. separation energy in ductile tearing, may now be quantified within the framework of these models by combined testing und numerical simulation. The minisymposium on cohesive models will compile, collect and discuss the present state of the art as well as future developments and challanges. Contributions to any kind of cohesive modelling, e.g. ductile crack growth and rupture, creep damage and fracture, dynamic crack propagation, fatigue, interface decohesion etc., on various size scales will be addressed.
