Hello, I'm trying to compare the two crack model.

One is just simple crack model, but the other one is crack which is repaired with some adhesive or sealant.

So, adhesive is filled inside the crack, fix the two crack surfaces.

Especially, I want to check the SIF(stress intensity factor) on those two cases, and I guess that the repaied one will have smaller SIF compared to the simple crack, maybe.

I want to try in the simple model, like griffith model or single edge notch.

I can model the simple crack model, but I couldn't find the way to model the repaired one.

I tried to search on the official document and related paper but I didn't get really appropriate answer for me.

Is there any idea or suggestion for modeling repaired crack in ABAQUS? 

Any helps or suggestion will be helpful. Thank you in advance :)
