Hello Everyone,
How can we define contact between two surface if we know the bonding strength value in N/mm between them?
Regards,
Bharat
Hi Bharat,
You can use PCONT to define contact stiffness.

Hello Prakash,
For entering stiffness in this case it will be normal stiffness or transverse stiffness ( My notion is that it should be transverse stiffness. If yes,should it be defined as u1*normal stiffness? [here u being static friction coeff.])
thanks and Regards
Bharat,
please go through the help for the card PCONT , always check the definition and comments of the cards, comment 2 in the PCONT page describes the nature of the stiffness.
