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.
