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

History Variables

None
