block.subcontact.energy

Syntax

f = block.subcontact.energy(bscp,s)

Get the component of energy associated with the subcontact defined by s. Admissible values for s depend on the joint model. Mohr-coulomb based models have the following quantities defined:

  • energy-strain-shear

  • energy-strain-compression

  • energy-strain-tension

  • energy-slip

Returns:

f - energy

Arguments:

bscp - block subcontact pointer s - string defining desired energy quantity
