Abstract:Cohesive Zone Modeling (CZM) is one of the most promising tools to investigate nonlinear crack propagation in present time. In this study, CZM approach is used to investigate the influence of various type of loading parameters in nonlinear crack propagation. These parameters include loading velocity, mass scaling, maximum strength of cohesive element and displacement jump. For this investigation, we used DYNA3D as a dynamic crack simulation code. Simulation outcomes were compared with the experimental results,… Show more
