Is there an API version of the Edinburgh Elasto-Plastic-Adhesion (EEPA) Contact Model available?

H_Engbert

Hello there,
I am searching for an API version of the Edinburgh Elasto-Plastic-Adhesion Contact Model. I would like to customize some parameters (especially the friction parameters, such as the friction coefficient depending on velocity or normal force) in order to achieve a better fit of a soil model to the measured data. Therefore, if anyone is able to provide me with an API version of the model, it would make it much easier for me to implement these ideas into EDEM. :)

Best regards,

Hi,

For the source code it's best to contact the author - https://www.eng.ed.ac.uk/about/people/dr-john-morrissey

We don't supply it as part of EDEM.
