Cohesive Zone Model<br />
Collapse of structure vs. fracture failure using CZM: elements are<br />
disassociated<br />
CZM “has mainly been applied” to brittle materials in continua.<br />
Limited CZM studies for ductile materials “on a structural scale”<br />
Develop CZM-based macro-model<br />

� Cyclic loadings<br />
Fracture failure using Cohesive Zone Model<br />
(CZM) approach (Zhang, 2003)
