Re: [Question #699705]: Empirical value of rolling stiffness (Krot)

 

Question #699705 on Yade changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

Karol Brzezinski proposed the following answer:
Hi,

to be honest I thought so until now. Probably the best way to answer this question would be to study the source code. 
I believe that you can find the answer here:
CPM:
https://gitlab.com/yade-dev/trunk/-/blob/master/pkg/dem/CohesiveFrictionalContactLaw.cpp#L307

Hertz-Mindlin:
https://gitlab.com/yade-dev/trunk/-/blob/master/pkg/dem/HertzMindlin.cpp#L67
https://gitlab.com/yade-dev/trunk/-/blob/master/pkg/dem/HertzMindlin.cpp#L535

It looks like CPM uses dimensionless rolling stiffness as you stated,
but the Hertz-Mindlin model only takes 'krot' that is not related to
other stiffness parameters, and then computes moment directly based krot
and relative rotation.

Best wishes,
Karol
