C2 Implemented cohesive behavior of potting-face contact
The bond between face and potting in the fully potted insert configurations was implemented using surface-based cohesive behavior properties. The corresponding surface
interaction input deck definition (ABAQUS) is given below. This represents the calibrated
contact properties.
