DOI: 10.1016/j.jeurceramsoc.2021.07.011
Abstract: Abstract Cohesive elements are commonly used to describe crack propagation in heterogeneous materials with toughening mechanisms. This work aims to provide a guideline on how these fracture parameters can be calibrated using notch opening displacements… read more here.
