Interface Elements

Hi,

I want to model a single pile in liquefiable soil deposits. The soil elements around the pile should slip both in the X direction and in the Z direction. What are the interface elements and interface materials in OpenSees?

Thanks.

Hi everybody,

I used the zeroLenghND elements as interface elements, but I got a warning that this type of element is not available yet. Therefore how can I use the zeroLenght elements in which the type of the material is NDmaterial?

I haven't gotten any answer for my previous question yet. Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

How does one model the effect of bulk and interface traps on the DCIV characteristics of a MOS device?
