This command is used to construct an impact material object

$matTag integer tag identifying material
$K1 initial stiffness
$K2 secondary stiffness
$Delta_y yield displacement
$gap initial gap*

Response of Impact Material during a pounding event.

Response of Impact Material for displacement cycles of increasing amplitude.

NOTES:

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>Insert formula here</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.
