Constitutive Law
Interface materials are used only [[NairnFEA] and are only linear elastic. The imperfect interfaces documentation gives the details. The constitutive law relates normal and tangential tractions on the interface to displacement discontinuities:
[math]\displaystyle{ T_n = D_n[u_n] \qquad {\rm and } \qquad T_t = D_t[u_t] }[/math]
where Dn and Dt are interfacial stiffness parametes and [un] and [ut]. Here n and t refer to normal an tangential directions relative the the interface.
| Property | Description | Units | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dn | Normal direction stiffness | MPa/mm | none |
| Dt | Tangential direction stiffness | MPa/mm | none |
