post-cracking

Hi
iMechanica,

For my
graduation project I need to model the cracking behavior of a concrete beam in
bending (To simulate delamination of Steel Reinforced Polymer).

However I’m
relative new to FEM, I’m using Abaqus 6.10 (and have 6.11 available).

To get used
to the modeling of cracking behavior I started with a simple example, as described
in:

Alfaro, M.
Suiker, A. (2010) Transverse Failure Behavior of Fibre-epoxy Systems, Journal
of Composite Materials, Vol. 44, No. 12/2010.
