That is what I’m confused about — how exactly should I define the cohesive contact? Should I model the rest of the adhesive layer using a conventional material model? If not, then how can I define the cohesive contact properly?
I have already tried using matching nodes with the same mesh size...
I’m currently working on simulating a pull-out test using Abaqus, and I’m facing some confusion regarding how best to model the adhesive interface using Cohesive Zone Modeling (CZM). I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions from the community.
Experimental Setup:
A concrete...
