Example 10.3 How to use Abaqus Virtual Crack Closure VCCT for delamination of bonded repairs

In Example 10.3, we show you how to simulate the debonding between two layers, also called substrates, by using the virtual crack closure technique (VCCT) described in section 10.2 of the textbook. The techniques can be used to simulate bonded connections, bonded repairs, delaminations, and more. Learn how to use CAE to enter Abaqus Keywords into the .inp file.
