A simple cohesive zone model that generates a mode-mixity dependent toughness [PDF]
A simple, mode-mixity dependent toughness cohesive zone model (MDGc CZM) is described. This phenomenological cohesive zone model has two elements. Mode I energy dissipation is defined by a traction–separation relationship that depends only on normal ...

Frequency-Dependent Cohesive Zone Models for Fatigue [PDF]
This paper is concerned with a new cohesive zone model (CZM) to better describe the effects of rate and cyclic loading. Rate is known to affect the manner in which cracks propagate in materials, yet there presently exists no rate-dependent cohesive model
