Chiara Modenese proposed the following answer:
Hi,

Glad to know the work has been useful.

Surface energy (gamma) is a measurable material parameter, and also an
input of the DMT model. You need to find out what the typical value(s)
is for your material based on the relevant literature (sorry but I can't
help you directly with this).

For the damping coefficients, en and es, these are there to replicate
dissipation forces, which you will need to calibrate in your model
against experimental values, depending on the purpose of your DEM
simulations.

I hope this is of help,
Chiara
