Evaluation of different damage initiation and growth criteria in the cohesive zone modelling analysis of single-lap bonded joints

Adhesively-bonded joints are extensively used in several fields of engineering. Cohesive Zone Models (CZM) have been used for the strength prediction of adhesive joints, as an add-in to Finite Element (FE) analyses that allows simulation of damage growth, by consideration of energetic principles [1]...
