The fatigue behaviour of the welded beam-to-column connections of steel moment resisting frame in seismic area must be evaluated. The cohesive zone model is an efficient solution to study such connections by finite elements. It respects the energetic conservation and avoids numerical issues. A three-dimensional cohesive zone model element has been implemented in the home made finite element code Lagamine [1]. It is coupled with the fatigue continuum damage model of Lemaître and Chaboche [2]. The cohesive parameters are identified by the inverse method applied on a three points bending test modelling.

Ice accretion can cause problems on polar ships, ocean platforms, and in other marine industries. It is important to understand the interface debonding behavior between ice and the surface of equipment. In this work, we created a mechanical model to analyze the interface debonding behavior between a square-based ice cuboid and an elastic coating base, using contact mechanics and fracture mechanics. Three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) simulation was used to simulate the interface debonding for normal and shear separation. A bilinear cohesive zone model (CZM) was used to simulate the interface between the ice cuboid and the elastic coating. We investigated the effect of the elastic modulus E of an elastic film on the critical detachment force Fc for normal and shear separation. The results showed that Fc increases with an increase of the elastic modulus of the elastic film. When E exceeds a certain level, Fc achieves a constant value and then remains stable. Finally, a series of epoxy/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) interpenetrating polymer-network (IPN) gel coatings with different elastic moduli were prepared. The ice tensile and shear adhesion strengths (σice and τice) of the coatings were measured. The results were roughly consistent with the results of the numerical simulation when E < 1 MPa.

Computational modeling of three-dimensional crack propagation in very ductile materials is still a challenge in fracture mechanics analysis. In the present work a new stress-triaxiality-dependent cohesive zone model (TCZM) is proposed to describe elastic-plastic fracture process in full three-dimensional specimens. The cohesive parameters are identified as a function of the stress triaxiality from ductile fracture experiments. The predictions of TCZM show good agreement with the experimental results for both side-grooved C(T) specimen and rod bar specimen.
