How to Use 3D Cohesive Element COH3D8 in ABAQUS - Part 1

This video show you steps on how to implement cohesive element in ABAQUS.
I tried for long time to figure this out even after reading the documentation for so many times... so I dont want people experience the same thing and waste their times.. so here it is.. I share the steps on how to use cohesive element in ABAQUS.
Please also check the second part of the video where I explain how to use PPR Cohesive element (PARK PAULINO ROESLER) using UEL provided online by Prof. Paulino. • part2 How to USe Cohes...

    Thank You for sharing this! I had been trying to use the cohesive elements for a while but to no avail even after reading the ABAQUS online documentation. Any idea how to model using more than one part? Like a single lap joint (metal-adhesive-metal)

    Thank you for the great video, I wonder that if we use fracture energy option insead of the displacement and we have the traction-separation curve, is it the full area under the curve or the area between damage initiation and failure to calculate the fracture energy G ? Thanks.

    For brittle material when you dont have plasticity, fracture energy is the energy under traction separation (full area). For material with plasticity, it is the area under the curve excluding the plastic area. Just draw a sketch and it will be easier to understand which part is elastic energy and which part is plastic energy. The damage always associated to elastic energy since it degrades elastic stiffness

    Hi, it's me again. I implemented what you suggested and it worked. Thank you. Now, I'm trying to use the PPR UEL. But I'm in doubt about the units I should use for the fracture energy parameter. Should I use N/m? Because I have 300 N/m and 500 N/m for the normal and tangencial directions, but I realized that you and Prof. Paulino have used a very smaller value.

    +Heron Dionisio You can use whatever you want.. just make sure they are consistent with another units.. if you draw your model (with unit length in mind as meter, you also need to use meter. and if the stiffness is 200 GPA and you input the value of 200e9 to the cell of stiffness, then it means you choose pascal as you pressure/stress unit.. in that case, your force unit should be newton..

I assumed the element deletion but in the result, there is an expansion in cohesive elements but no deletion! so two surfaces aren't really separated. Do you have any idea about this issue?

    Just make sure to recheck the stacking direction. U dont want in a situatuon where you believe that you got the correct results, prepare report and prented it.. and then realized the direction is incorrect. Normally if you sweep it would be ok.. but once you do partition, the direction can change again..

    this number is just sample. but if you to calibrate it, you can plot the stress-displacement curve of a given cohesive model. Then the are under the curve should match with the critical energy release rate (G1c) of the material. In that case, you change the value of dis_max so that the area below the curve match the G1c

    @@prajwalbharadwaj875 it depends on what you are trying to model. If you are modeling a zero thickness interface, you should put value that is big enough to prevent spurious compliance but small enough to facilitate convergence. Value of E=10e5 to 10e8 are generally recommended. If you are modeling real material interface with finite thickness (for example adhesive) you can put real value of adhesive stiffness or usually E = Ereal/thikness of interface. Hope this helps.

    Hi. Thank you for sharing this video with us. I'm trying to use cohesive elements in a cylindrical geometry, but it isn't working. I saw you didn't connect the cohesive elements to the other parts with Tie Constraint. How are they connected? Are they sharing nodes? I tried to mesh the parts doing the same thing you did, but it didn't work. The parts don't connect to each other. Could you help me, please? Thank you again.

    Traction type means that you have traction separation relationship. So you multiply the stiffness matrix and the separation between 2 faces. While if you use isotropic, they will expect strain instead of separation. But go ahead and try yourself. Maybe it works
