This command constructs a node-to-node zero-length contact element in 3D space.
| element zeroLengthImpact3D $tag $slaveNode $masterNode $direction $initGap $frictionRatio $Kt $Kn $Kn2 $Delta_y $cohesion |
| $tag | unique element object tag |
| $slaveNode | Slave node tag |
| $masterNode | Master node tag |
| $direction |
1 if normal vector of master plane points to +X direction 2 if normal vector of master plane points to +Y direction 3 if normal vector of master plane points to +Z direction |
| $initGap | Initial gap between master plane and slave plane |
| $frictionRatio | Friction ratio |
| $Kt | Penalty in tangential directions (parallel to master and slave planes) |
| $Kn | Penalty in normal direction (normal to master and slave planes) |
| $Kn2 | Penalty in normal direction after yielding based on Hertz impact model |
| $Delta_y | Yield deformation based on Hertz impact model |
| $cohesion | Cohesion, if no cohesion, it is zero |
NOTES:
- This element has been developed on top of the “zeroLengthContact3D”. All the notes available in “zeroLengthContact3D” wiki page would apply to this element as well. It includes the definition of master and slave nodes, the number of degrees of freedom in the domain, etc.
- This element adds the capabilities of “ImpactMaterial” to “zeroLengthContact3D”, without the need for extra nodes and elements in the modeling process. That is the capability of having an "initial gap" in the normal direction and also the capability of considering energy dissipation due to impact in the normal direction.
- This element has been used to model the superstructure-abutment interaction in bridges at University of Connecticut (UConn) and University of Nevada, Reno (UNR).
