Question #700843 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/700843
Status: Open => Answered Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer: Above [1] and [2] point to a contact property between 2 Discrete Elements, that's it. If you take any DEM paper from the literature with some macro-scale shear strength considerations (e.g. triaxial testing), and compare the deduced material friction angle (e.g. Mohr-Coulomb criterion friction angle) with that contact property you will see how different both can be (except in few instances where you would be very lucky -- or unlucky -- and get an equality between the two). See e.g. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0266352X21005309 where Mohr Coulomb friction angle is above 35 degrees, vs a contact friction angle at 31° for a polyhedron model ("Set 2 parameters" in Table 5). Most convincing example would certainly be your own YADE simulations of triaxial tests, with zero FrictMat.frictionAngle. -- 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 : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
