Cohesive elements are useful in modeling adhesives, bonded interfaces, gaskets, and rock fracture. The constitutive response of these elements depends on the specific application and is based on certain assumptions about the deformation and stress states

The cohesive zone must be discretized with a single layer of cohesive elements through the thickness. If the cohesive zone represents an adhesive material with a finite thickness, the continuum macroscopic properties of this material can be used directly
