Loading problems in simulate crack propagation with cohesive element

Submitted by Pulin Nie on

Hi all:

When I simulate a crack propagate along interface between film and substrate with cohesive element, different load-deflection curves of film were achieved when I applied load or displacement on film, respectively.  I think it should achieve same results regardless which kind of load I selected.  Please help me find what’s wrong with my simulation.

Thanks!
