Abstract Nonlinear interface elements are currently used to represent nonbonded interfaces such as bone/implant and turbine blade/disk interfaces in finite-element analyses. The accuracy of the two-dimensional interface element of ANSYS was verified by comparing the finite-element solution of a problem involving a nonbonded interface with the analytical solution. Then, photoelastic tests were conducted in order to validate the finite-element solutions in problems similar in geometry to a specific bone/dental implant system. It was concluded that the two-dimensional interface element of ANSYS can be used with confidence.
