its abaqus explicit and yes rest of the results are correct the only problem is with strain and that for the frp in the bonded region only. Deformed shape seems reasonable, but i still can't find the reason for this unusual strain pattern.
I'm currently working on a numerical simulation of a Near-Surface-Mounted (NSM) FRP reinforcement in concrete using ABAQUS. I'm trying to simulate fiber pull-out behavior using the Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) approach to model the bond between the FRP and the epoxy adhesive.
📌 Model Overview...
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.
