Adhesive Contact : a Survey and a Unified Formulation

2012

International audienceA brief survey of the most widely used Cohesive Zone Models is first presented and discussed. Then, a general framework for these laws is given under the form of a unified formulation recently proposed by Del Piero and Raous (Del Piero, Raous [1]). This unified formulation is based on : – general laws, typically, energy conservation and dissipation principles, that is, mechanical versions of the first two laws of thermodynamics, – a set of state variables, that is, an array of independent variables which fully determine the response to all possible deformation processes, – a set of elastic potential and dissipation potentials, which are functions of state in terms of which the general laws take specific forms, – a set of constitutive assumptions. The behavior of the interface is first characterized by two given loading curves f n (u n) and f t (u t) , which are supposed to be star-shaped with respect to the origin, where u n and u t are the normal and tangentia...
