slip work

Hello,

I am a PhD student researching particle dynamics in tumbling systems, with the goal of developing a breakage probability function based on frictional work. Initially, I used Rocky for my simulations, but I discovered that it only provides cumulative work for particles. My research requires extracting detailed data on frictional work( i.e., product of frictional force and tangential displacement), at each point of contact between a set of particles.

I am exploring whether LIGGGHTS can provide this functionality. If it is possible to extract such data, could you please guide me on how to implement this in the input script?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as this is a critical aspect of my research

Best regards,

Ayuk
