Hello all,

I'm researching the creep behaviour of a dowel that fails due to in plain shear (mode 2). I am just starting this research, but my question is:

Does anyone know if there are accurate ways to model a cohesive layer that describes creep behaviour (crack propagation due to creep in mode 2) in Ansys 13.0?

Regards,

Daniel
