Need some information on cohesion model

Submitted by naren on Fri, 05/01/2015 - 12:27

Dear All,

I have two doubts about cohesion model sjkr.

1) In the cohesion model, what is the reference for cohesion energy density values? How do we select the values
for cohesion energy densities? Can we calculate it, if we know the properties of liquid and solid?

2) Cohesion model uses JKR model, and it adds only an additional normal force. What about tangential force?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Narendra

Hi,

>>How do we select the values for cohesion energy densities?
Calibration!

>>What about tangential force?
The tangential force limit is increased (via the Coulomb friction limit)

Cheers
Christoph

Thank you so much Christoph. Can you please tell me, in which program (in src folder) it is implemented (increment in tangential force limit)?

Regards,
Narendra

Hi,

have a look at the files gran_tangential*.* in the src/ directory
