Application of Cohesive Elements in Modeling Fracture of Heterogeneous Materials

The fracture process of concrete is a complex mechanism influenced by its highly heterogeneous internal structure: matrix/cement paste, aggregate, and pores. Damage development occurs at the interface between the cement paste and aggregate, where microcracks can form. The offered internship will focus on 2D/3D numerical modeling of this process using cohesive elements available in ANSYS software.
