Thus in the Hertzian case Kn and Kt can be set to values that

<P>Thus in the Hertzian case Kn and Kt can be set to values that
corresponds to properties of the material being modeled. This is also
true in the Hookean case, except that a spring constant must be chosen
that is appropriate for the absolute size of particles in the model.
