New question #689015 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/689015

I have read in many journal papers using YADE [1] that kn = E*(Ra*Rb)/(Ra+Rb). However, when I use YADE and calculate kn, I get kn = 2*E*(Ra*Rb)/(Ra+Rb). I also read [2] and I did not see where the 2 is coming from. Can you help me identify it?

Thanks!
