Interface continuity conditions

Displacements and tractions are continuous at perfect interfaces. Relative sliding at viscoelastic interfaces. Transverse tractions, electric displacements and heat flux are continuous for the equilibrium consideration Shear traction = (Interface stiffness coeff.) x (sliding displacement) + (Interface viscous coeff.) x (rate of sliding displacement)
