Numerical modelling of intergranular fracture in polycrystalline materials and grain size effects
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2013 In this paper, the phenomenon of intergranular fracture in polycrystalline materials is investigated using a nonlinear fracture mechanics approach. The nonlocal cohesive zone model (CZM) for finite thickness interfaces recently proposed by the present ...

Computational model coupling mode II discrete fracture propagation with continuum damage zone evolution [PDF]
, 2017 We propose a numerical method that couples a cohesive zone model (CZM) and a finite element-based continuum damage mechanics (CDM) model. The CZM represents a mode II macro-fracture, and CDM finite elements (FE) represent the damage zone of the CZM.
