Hello Community,<\/p>\n

I read that from Ansys Theory reference about the post behavior of cohesive zone model after debonding completed. I am confused about it.<\/p>\n

” <\/p>\n

Post Separation Behavior<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

After debonding is completed the surface interaction is governed by standard contact constraints for normal and tangential directions. Frictional contact is used if friction is specified for contact elements.<\/p>\n

“<\/p>\n

My question is Since the debonding has completed, why there still exists a standard contact constraints for normal and tangential directions? I thought the contact just disappeared and the rest of the structure with valid connections are still sustaining the loads afterwards?<\/p>\n

Can any one explain a little bit?<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-289302","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansysworkbench-ansys-staticstructural","topic-tag-cohesive-zone-modeling","topic-tag-contact-debonding"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
