Revisiting the implementation of Hertz-Mindlin and Hertz-Mindlin -Deresiewicz models for application in the discrete element method
摘要
The objective of this article is to critically review four of the widely used methods for the implementation of Mindlin’s no-slip and partial slip model under constant normal loading and Mindlin Deresiewicz's micro-slip model under varying normal loading, for simulations of granular flow. Two of the chosen methods determine the tangential forces based on the incremental tangential displacement, while the other two estimate the tangential forces based on the instantaneous position of the particles and are known as the "integral" method. The tangential load–displacement behaviour during the contact between a spherical particle and a flat surface is investigated using these models. In addition, the rotational coefficient of restitution (
