Cohesive zone model
Forums
Hi,
I'm actually working on numerical modeling of damage in adhesively bonded joints. I found three basic approaches for it in litterature
_Continuum approcha
_local approach
_Hybrid CZM_ XFEM approach
I'm trying a model on local approach, but i faced a problem which consits of overlapping continuum adhesive layer and adherends elements when cohesive elements get fully damaged
I need a suggenstion on how to hadnle this problem.
Thanks in advance
Call for abstracts: SES symposium on "Soft Materials"
Dear Colleagues,
The 53rd Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science will be hosted by the University of Maryland (UMD) during 2-5 October 2016 (note the new conference date). As part of this meeting, we are organizing a symposium to address recent experimental, computational, theoretical, and manufacturing advances on the mechanics and physics of soft materials. Topics of particular interest include:
3 Research Fellowships at University of Southampton for a European Project on Smart Bearings
Looking to take the next step in your academic career? Look no further – three exciting opportunities are available for ambitious researchers to join the UK’s most dynamic research groups for engineering research and education.
Concept of Yield Point or Elastic Limit?
A similar discussion on this forum raised many interesting point about- Stress or strain: which one is more fundamental?

On a similar note I would like to address this decade old fundamental question on how do we define yield point of a material?
Simpleware Workshop at University College London, May 4th 2016
Date: Wednesday, May 4, 2016
Time: 1:00 - 4:00 pm
Location: University College London
Who should attend
Postdoctoral positions on Predictive Simulations at Purdue University
Purdue University is seeking applications from outstanding candidates to fill several Postdoctoral Scholar positions to work on atomistic and continuum simulations of physical and chemical processes at extreme conditions of pressure and temperature. The successful candidates will join a multidisciplinary team including modelers and experimentalists working at Purdue, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Stanford University.
