Question #243689 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/243689
Václav Šmilauer posted a new comment: Hi Eshan, if you study dynamics, you should not use the nonviscous damping (which is the one to be used with the linear contact model) as that one is a purely numerical device to dissipate energy in simulations to achieve quasi-static state: the quasi-static state is "physical" but the dynamics involved not. You should use perhaps some of the contact mechanics models (such as the Hertz-Mindlin, JKR, ...) which can define coefficient of restitution. You could check http://woodem.eu/doc/theory/contact/hertzian.html and http://woodem.eu/doc/theory/contact/adhesive.html out for some theory behind that.
