TL;DR: EPOXY RESIN WITH CZM
Hello all.
I am new to this platform. Please can anyone kindly put me through? I am modeling slip behavior between FRP and brick masonry. I have an epoxy resin adhesive as the interface. I used CZM method with pure penalty. My questions are as below:
1. Do I model the epoxy adhesive interface as 1 layer or two layers? or how many CZM layers am I expected to have?
2 I am using separation distance-based debonding. do I drag this into epoxy resin? and what values do i use ?

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
