Re: How is the cohesion treated in YADE?

 

CohesiveFrictionalContactLaw is indeed the law you need, Kan.
Janek added bending/twisting moments to this contact law recently. 
Moments are only elastic for now, but implementing plasticity for 
moments would be just few lines as you have all kinematic variables 
defined already (like the relative bending/twisting rotations between 
bodies).
2 Remarks :
-you need to set collider->haveDistantPersistent=true if you want 
interactions with tensile forces (overlap<0)
-you will have to set interaction->isReal=true in the contact law if you 
want the collider to delete lost interactions (loss of contact means 
adhesive properties are lost and overlap<0, this is equivalent to 
contactForce=0).
