🔍 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. 👨‍💻 Presented by: Lukas Juricek 📧 Contact / Training: StrucInsight@gmail.com 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/... #ABAQUS #FEM #StructuralEngineering #Concrete #DamageModel #CohesiveZone #Simulation #EngineeringExplained
