Cohesive layer properties
Cohesive layer properties
(OP)
I am attempting to model concrete bonded to rock. I have made a small layer of cohesive elements between by concrete and rock mesh. What material properties should i be using for the cohesive layer? I know the max shear stress i want to use, should i just plug that into the mohr coulomb shear stress?





RE: Cohesive layer properties
Have you tried using traction-separation description?
I think in that description, you need to use strain energy release rate and some other parameters but I used it previously, and it works good. You can find how to get the required parameters for your simulation from the help file.
