Pengfei Tan posted a new comment: Thanks for your reply, Jérôme. I saw that the MindlinPhys can consider the adhesive force from the Yade manual (Here, the adhesive force means van Der Waals force). "Law2_ScGeom_MindlinPhys_Mindlin" has the attribute "includeAdhesion" which can include the adhesion force by using the DMT model. And, "Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_MindlinPhys" has the attribute "gamma" to set the surface energy parameter which is needed for evaluating the adhesion force in the DMT model. I also found the formulation which calculates the adhesion force in the "HertzMindlin.cpp" as follows: Real Adhesion = 4.*Mathr::PI*R*gamma; // calculate adhesion force as predicted by DMT theory. I read Chiara Modenese's thesis "Numerical study of the mechanical properties of lunar soil by the discrete element method". He used the DMT model to calculate the van Der Waals force. -- 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
