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 ?
