further information about force models

Submitted by Fuchs_Josef on Tue, 01/04/2011 - 16:48

Hi Christoph,
I am looking for further information about your force models in LIGGGHTS. Is there some special literature you used for development of the force models?
Happy new year and best regards, Josef

Josef,

There is a lot of literature on different force models for DEM simulations. The ones included in LIGGGHTS are some of the common formulations. A good place to start is

"Comparison of contact-force models for the simulation of collisions in DEM-based granular &ow codes", Di Renzo & Di Maio, Chem Eng Sci, 2004.

Another one worth checking out is
"Force Models for Particle-Dynamics Simulations of Grandular Materials", Walton, Dec 94

Hope this helps,
Chris

Hi Josef,

there is really tons of literature on that. just search for "discrete element" on sciencedirect.com
some references below.

Cheers,
Christoph
