Thank you for your suggestions and comments:
-using the restitution coefficient instead of cn and cs doesn't change the 
result.
-decreasing the maximum strain rate of periodic cell doesn't change enough the 
result.

Using global damping instead of viscous damping seems the better
solution to reach the target porosity in my case!

Another option is to use restituion coefficient instead
of direct setting of cn and cs parameters.

Question #404455 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/404455

Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
The porosity at equilibrium is not single valued, it is a range of possible 
porosities. Which one is reached along a particular loading path depends on 
every possible factor in principle, including numerical damping. 
As Jerôme suggests, you could introduce numerical daming only in the 
preparation phase if it helps reaching a particular porosity.
Alternatively, for the same purpose, decrease the upper bound of wall velocity, 
wallMaxVel iirc (or the growth factor if internalCompaction=True); this will 
compact more gently then give looser states.
Bruno

Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hi,

I think you should choose what is the "best" method according to your
goal only.

If your goal is to have the loosest possible state, and numerical
damping allows that and not contact viscous damping, then numerical
damping is the best method. Period.

I'm not surprised you get different porosities with these two cases:
your isotropic compression is probably not quasistatic (like for other
users, me at least) and all the oscillations you get during this phase
will tend to densify your packing.

You observed that numerical damping is a better trick to damp these
oscillations and not densify your packing, then just stick with
numerical damping.

Which numerical method you're using to construct your packing is not really 
important in my opinion, what matters is the state of the packing after 
generation, and what parameters you'll use for the actual simulation. 
(For this second phase, I'd understand you prefer include damping from a 
physically based visco-elastic contact law rather than using non-existing in 
nature numerical damping forces)

[Yade-users] [Question #404455]: damping in ViscElMat

2016-11-28 Thread feda
New question #404455 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/404455

Hello,
I am simulating a periodic isotropic compression of well graded material (Cu>3) 
to reach the stable loosest state (target porosity).
I use ViscElMat to define the material (Kn,Ks,cn,cs,frictionangle,density):
-The friction angle is set to 0.7 (the porosity will increase by increasing the 
friction)
-cn and cs are in functions of a predefined critical damping ratio, kn and the 
mean radius of particles. 
-The damping in Newton Integrator is set to 0. The energy dissipation is then 
introduced in the system by means of a viscous damping defined at contacts.
This set of parameters allows obtaining porosity smaller than the target 
porosity (a more dense state) and if I increase the values of cn and cs by 
increasing the critical damping ratio, I obtain the same value of porosity.

Now, if I set cn and cs to 0 and I use a global numerical damping instead, I 
can reach the target porosity (obtain a loosest state).
How we can interpret this difference, and which method is better to use with 
viscElMat?  
Thank you
feda
