Hello Everyone,
I am dealing with the topics of contact mechanics and adhesion. In my case, two surfaces are adhered strongly and I would like to model the detachment of contact or treat it as a crack propagation in the contact area of the two surfaces when a tensile force is applied to the non adhering surface. I searched in the model library but haven't found any information in this regard.
I got an impression from the Literature review that we can deal such cases by using Cohesive zone model (CZM) or Cohesive zone elements which is well defined in Abaqus or Ansys. I am just wondering whether we have the possibility to implement the CZM in Comsol?
It would be very very helpful for me if someone could suggest me the way to implement CZM or any other possibility to deal with this situation!!
Any suggestions or help would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Ramgopal
