Interface debonding around radial particule

Interface debonding around radial particule

Interface debonding around radial particule

(OP)
Hi

I am trying to solve a debonding problem between a spherical inclusion and matrix cavity. I would want to keep a total cohesion up to a maximal stress around of matrix breaking strain. So any comments will be appreciated.

In a first part I have tried, connectors elements (Link), GAP elements and Hard contact Modified (with PERRMX, CHMAX). For the last I have obtained good results if my interface is normal to the load direction. But in my problem, we have radial stresses and it's difficult to use this Hard contact Modified.

1. Want do you think about *DEBOND for my problem?

2. Is it able to use it for radial interfcace ?

Thanks a lot for your response.
