🔍 Cohesive Surface Traction – Linear Damage Evolution (ABAQUS) - 01
In this video, I walk you through the fundamentals of cohesive surface traction modeling with linear damage evolution using ABAQUS, focusing on bond behavior between concrete and reinforcement.
📌 What you’ll learn:
CEB-FIB Model Code 2020 and bond-slip behavior
Failure modes: splitting vs pull-out
Testing setup for bond analysis
Fundamentals of traction–separation laws
Damage initiation criteria (stress & separation based)
Step-by-step derivation of linear damage evolution law
Understanding stiffness degradation and interface failure
This is a theoretical deep dive designed for engineers and researchers working with nonlinear material models, cohesive contacts, and structural simulations.
📈 Whether you're working in FEM, ABAQUS, or structural mechanics, this video will help you better understand how bond damage and delamination are modeled.
👉 Stay tuned for the next part where we move into the modelling implementation.
