Hi Thanks Jerome and Bruno for your answers.
As you said it's a calibration problem. >It's called "Young" modulus because it defines the Young's modulus of >the packing (modulo a constant factor)... > Ok I just didn't understand why it's called "Young Modulus". So the calibration work could be defined as finding this "constant factor". Anyway, I'll just call it "stiffness", it's perhaps more appropriate... > I suppose it's the same problem with "Poisson coefficient"? (I was asking myself why it's called Poisson) >Instead of justifying the equations of this specific functor, I'd rather >ask: what contact behaviour do you want to simulate? > I just want to simulate frictional elastic contacts for the moment, so it seems appropriate. It's not really the contact law I want to check here for my work.
