Dear all:
I want to simulate the inclusion-matrix debonding under tensile load with abaqus cohesive element.But when I added the cohesive element around the inclusion, the stress filed was totally changed. I think it is because the stiffness of the cohesive element (K/G1/G2)was not right. Do you know how to choose it so it will not affect the stress field of the oringinal structrure? or can you give me an example? Thanks very much.
