Identification of cohesive crack fracture parameters using mathematical programming

This thesis is concerned with the characterization of the parameters governing the tension-softening relations of the cohesive crack model. Parameters identification is an important area in fracture mechanics as it enables the use of a fracture model for the simulation of fracture processes in stru...
