Reply To: Parameter to control initial stiffness before sliding

[Himanshi]

Thanks for your early reply.

I have read the topics but in the figure 2 attached, if delta s is the displacement at which sliding starts in the model then stiffness of force-displacement curve before delta s can be controlled by which parameter??

Because in my model as soon as I apply the lateral displacement, the layer defined by friction model and no separation sliding permitted contact starts sliding, which does not happen in usual friction case. As model should start sliding after some time i.e. after this delta s displacement.

In advance Thank you again
