Abstract
•A new discontinuous FEM for cohesive zones is proposed.•Allows for seamless transition from pre-failure to post-failure behaviour.•Application to realistic nonlinear models of cohesive failure.
We propose a discontinuous finite element method for small strain elasticity allowing for cohesive zone modeling. The method yields a seamless transition between the discontinuous Galerkin method and classical cohesive zone modeling. Some relevant numerical examples are presented.
