Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer: Regarding energy, continuum mechanics theory imposes that energy quantities (in J) obviously increase with sample volume for a given stress-strain behavior. Which is why energy quantities in J are again not so meaningful in my opinion, compared with energy densities in J/m3 Keeping the same sample volume and the same stress-strain behavior (I guess you would also like to match this one to the experiments), you thus will have no possibility to change the energy input to the sample... You may just possibly play with micro-parameters to maybe change the relative weights of distinct energy features in your simulation (energy dissipated through plastic sliding i.e. friction, vs elastic energy losses when cohesive interactions break) Jerome -- You received this question notification because your team yade-users is an answer contact for Yade. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
