Overview

A novel penalized numerical approach enhances predictive capabilities of cohesive zone models for quasi-brittle materials.

Key Points

  • The phase-field cohesive zone model effectively predicts crack paths in quasi-brittle materials, demonstrating enhanced performance.
  • Linear and quadratic Ambrosio–Tortorelli models are compared, highlighting the advantages of the phase field cohesive zone approach.
  • Finite element simulations using COMSOL reveal robust stability and efficiency in using the penalization technique.
  • The model showcases validation against literature through applications to the French Pantheon structure, confirming its predictive reliability.
