The main objective of this paper is to model fracture in aluminum specimen using cohesive elements. To find out the parameters for modeling fracture, a tensile test is carried out and further the parameters are calibrated using F.E simulations. The calibrated parameters are then used in F.E simulation to correlate with the experimental mixed mode fracture test.
