This material is implemented as a compression-only gap material. Delta_y and gap should be input as negative values.
DESCRIPTION:
This material is based on an approximation to the Hertz contact model proposed by Muthukumar (See REFERENCES below). The energy dissipated during impact is:
<math>Insert formula here</math>
where kh is the impact stiffness parameter, with a typical value of EA/L or 25,000 k-in.-3/2; n is typically taken as 3/2 for the exponent associated with the Hertz power rule; e is the coefficient of restitution, with typical values from 0.6-0.8; and δm is the maximum penetration during the pounding event. The effective stiffness, Keff, is: <math>Insert formula here</math>
The yield displacement is:
<math>d=ad/math>
where a is typically taken as 0.1. The initial stiffness, K1, and secondary stiffness, K2, are then selected such that the Impact model dissipates an amount of energy during a pounding event that is consistent with the associated energy dissipated in the Hertz model.
