Mesh-independent treatment for straightforward modelling of (non-linear) fracture mechanical processes using a mixed mode cohesive zone method

A modification of the classical contact to provide a specific implementation of a mesh-independent treatment for straightforward modelling of (non-linear) fracture mechanical processes using a mixed mode cohesive zone method

This is an extended version of open source code FEBio https://febio.org/ (version 2.0) which deals with the following problems:

• Modification and implementation of large deformation contact mechanics using a mixed mode cohesive zone model (development of a cohesive fracture model through contact mechanics)

• Incorporation of friction and frictional heat generation in the contact model (consideration of interfacial representations of total energy balance and entropy production)
