Aluminum Plate Fracture Analysis using CZM

Vikas K. Tope | Dr. K. K. Dhande

Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to model fracture in aluminum specimen using cohesive elements. To find out the parameters for modeling fracture, a tensile test is carried out and further the parameters are calibrated using F. E simulations. The calibrated parameters are then used in F. E simulation to correlate with the experimental mixed mode fracture test.

Keywords: cohesive elements, cohesive zone, cohesive zone modelling, frac-ture, ductile fracture, mixed mode fracture
