Here you will find the documentation for an adhesive elasto-plastic contact model developed by the team at the University of Edinburgh including JP Morrissey and Subhash Thakur.

This model is expected to be capable of modelling truly micron sized particles to study phenomena such as fine agglomeration, attrition and flow.

This model was originally posted on the EDEM forum as an API however it is now in-built to EDEM.
