Well established traction-opening relations are adopted and combined with micromechanically motivated heat flux-opening relations reflecting the evolving heat transfer through the interfaces. The finite element approach for a coupled analysis within an operator-split solution framework is presented and demonstrated with an example problem.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCohesive zoneThermomechanicsInterface elementArticleQ1465735745WOS:000280087600005
