<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: Versions of LAMMPS before 9Jan09 had different style

names for granular force fields. This is to emphasize the fact that

the Hertzian equation has changed to model polydispersity more

accurately. A side effect of the change is that the Kn, Kt, gamma_n,

with different values in order to reproduce calculations made with

between the two particles and the second parenthesized term is the

damping force. The tangential force also has 2 terms: a shear force

|
|
|
and a damping force. The shear force is a "history" effect that

|
|
|

accounts for the tangential displacement between the particles for the

duration of the time they are in contact. This term is included in

pair styles <I>hooke/history</I> and <I>hertz/history</I>, but is not included

|
|
|
|
|
<P>The Hookean model is one where the normal push-back force for two
|
|
|
|
|
overlapping particles is a linear function of the overlap distance.
|
|
|
|
|
Thus the specified Kn is in units of (force/distance). Note that this
|
|
|
|
|
push-back force is independent of absolute particle size (in the
|
2009-01-09 07:18:29 +08:00
|
|
|
monodisperse case) and of the relative sizes of the two particles (in
|
|
|
|
|
the polydisperse case). This model also applies to the other terms in
|
|
|
|
|
the force equation so that the specified gamma_n is in units of
|
|
|
|
|
(1/time), Kt is in units of (force/distance), and gamma_t is in units
|
|
|
|
|
of (1/time).
|
2009-01-08 07:54:46 +08:00
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The Hertzian model is one where the normal push-back force for two
|
|
|
|
|
overlapping particles is proportional to the area of overlap of the
|
|
|
|
|
two particles, and is thus a non-linear function of overlap distance.
|
2009-01-09 07:18:29 +08:00
|
|
|
Thus Kn has units of force per area and is thus specified in units of
|
|
|
|
|
(pressure). The effects of absolute particle size (monodispersity)
|
|
|
|
|
and relative size (polydispersity) are captured in the radii-dependent
|
|
|
|
|
pre-factors. When these pre-factors are carried through to the other
|
|
|
|
|
terms in the force equation it means that the specified gamma_n is in
|
|
|
|
|
units of (1/(time*distance)), Kt is in units of (pressure), and
|
|
|
|
|
gamma_t is in units of (1/(time*distance)).
|
2009-01-08 07:54:46 +08:00
|
|
|
</P>
|
2009-01-09 07:18:29 +08:00
|
|
|
<P>Note that in the Hookean case, Kn can be thought of as a linear spring
|
2009-01-08 07:54:46 +08:00
|
|
|
constant with units of force/distance. In the Hertzian case, Kn is
|
2009-01-09 07:18:29 +08:00
|
|
|
like a non-linear spring constant with units of force/area or
|
|
|
|
|
pressure, and as shown in the <A HREF = "#Zhang">(Zhang)</A> paper, Kn = 4G /
|
|
|
|
|
(3(1-nu)) where nu = the Poisson ratio, G = shear modulus = E /
|
2010-03-09 22:54:51 +08:00
|
|
|
(2(1+nu)), and E = Young's modulus. Similarly, Kt = 8G / (2-nu).
|
2009-01-09 07:18:29 +08:00
|
|
|
Thus in the Hertzian case Kn and Kt can be set to values that
|
2009-01-08 07:54:46 +08:00
|
|
|
corresponds to properties of the material being modeled. This is also
|
|
|
|
|
true in the Hookean case, except that a spring constant must be chosen
|
2009-01-09 07:18:29 +08:00
|
|
|
that is appropriate for the absolute size of particles in the model.
|
|
|
|
|
Since relative particle sizes are not accounted for, the Hookean
|
|
|
|
|
styles may not be a suitable model for polydisperse systems.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: In versions of LAMMPS before 9Jan09, the equation for
|
|
|
|
|
Hertzian interactions did not include the sqrt(RiRj/Ri+Rj) term and
|
|
|
|
|
thus was not as accurate for polydisperse systems. For monodisperse
|
|
|
|
|
systems, sqrt(RiRj/Ri+Rj) is a constant factor that effectively scales
|
|
|
|
|
all 4 coefficients: Kn, Kt, gamma_n, gamma_t. Thus you can set the
|
|
|
|
|
values of these 4 coefficients appropriately in the current code to
|
|
|
|
|
reproduce the results of a previous Hertzian monodisperse calculation.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, for the common case of a monodisperse system with
|
|
|
|
|
particles of diameter 1, all 4 of these coefficients should now be set
|
|
|
|
|
2x larger than they were previously.
|

</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Xmu is also specified in the pair_style command and is the upper limit
|
2009-01-08 07:54:46 +08:00
|
|
|
of the tangential force through the Coulomb criterion Ft = xmu*Fn,
|
|
|
|
|
where Ft and Fn are the total tangential and normal force components
|
|
|
|
|
in the formulas above. Thus in the Hookean case, the tangential force
|
|
|
|
|
between 2 particles grows according to a tangential spring and
|
|
|
|
|
dash-pot model until Ft/Fn = xmu and is then held at Ft = Fn*xmu until
|
|
|
|
|
the particles lose contact. In the Hertzian case, a similar analogy
|
|
|
|
|
holds, though the spring is no longer linear.
