Interface models coupling friction and adhesion, where adhesion is regarded as interface damage, are briefly reviewed. The most widely used cohesive zone models are presented and discussed. A general framework for these laws, recently developed by Del Piero and Raous in the form of a unified model, is outlined. As an example, it is here established that the RCCM (Raous-Cangémi-Cocou-Monerie) model is a specific case in this general framework. The variational formulation and some associated solvers are briefly recalled in the context of non-smooth mechanics in the cases of both quasi-static and dynamic problems. A few examples in various fields of application are given. Lastly, some open problems and ongoing researches in this field are presented and discussed.
