Numerical Implementation of Imperfect Interfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
One approach to characterizing interfacial stiffness is to introduce imperfect interfaces that allow displacement discontinuities whose magnitudes depend on interfacial traction and on properties of the interface or interphase region. This work implemented such imperfect interfaces into both finite element analysis and the material point method. The finite element approach defined imperfect interface elements that are compatible with static, linear finite element analysis. The material point method interfaces extended prior contact methods to include interfaces with arbitrary traction-displacement laws. The numerical methods were validated by comparison to new or existing stress transfer models for composites with imperfect interfaces. Some possible experiments for measuring the imperfect interface parameters needed for modeling are discussed.

Temperature and Pressure Dependence of the Effective Thermal Conductivity of Geomaterials: Numerical Investigation by the Immersed Interface Method
The present work aims to study the nonlinear effective thermal conductivity of heterogeneous composite-like geomaterials by using a numerical approach based on the immersed interface method (IIM). This method is particularly efficient at solving the diffusion problem in domains containing inner boundaries in the form of perfect or imperfect interfaces between constituents. In this paper, this n...
متن کاملModeling Imperfect Interfaces in the Material Point Method using Multimaterial Methods
The “multimaterial” version of the material point method (MPM) extrapolates each material to its own velocity field on a background grid. By reconciling momenta on nodes interacting with two or more materials, MPM is able to automatically handle contact without any need for special contact elements. This paper extends multimaterial MPM to automatically handle imperfect interfaces between materi...
