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.
