Cyclic load
Overload
New cohesive law uses Paris Law to account for fatigue damage growth (Turon-Camanho, 2007). Propagation law bounded by threshold and overload fracture. Model accounts for mode mixity GI/GII and load ratio, R. Model uses standard material properties. Cycle Jump strategy used to reduce re-calculations of structural response.
