nDMaterial
('ContactMaterial3D', matTag, mu, G, c, t) This command is used to construct a ContactMaterial3D nDMaterial object.
matTag
(int)integer tag identifying material mu
(float)interface frictional coefficient G
(float)interface stiffness parameter c
(float)interface cohesive intercept t
(float)interface tensile strength
The ContactMaterial3D nDMaterial defines the constitutive behavior of a frictional interface between two bodies in contact. The interface defined by this material object allows for sticking, frictional slip, and separation between the two bodies in a three-dimensional analysis. A regularized Coulomb frictional law is assumed. Information on the theory behind this material can be found in, e.g. Wriggers (2002).
Note
- The ContactMaterial3D nDMaterial has been written to work with the SimpleContact3D and BeamContact3D element objects.
- There are no valid recorder queries for this material other than those which are listed with those elements.
