Dimensionless criterion to select the rolling resistance models in DEM simulations
摘要
Several rolling resistance models are documented in the literature and implemented in discrete element method (DEM) software. Specifically, constant directional torque (CDT) and elasto-slipping (ES) models are frequently used in similar simulation conditions but often lead to inconsistent outcomes. A limitation of CDT models is that they are known to be sensitive to numerical oscillations. In the present work, we attempt to define the range of validity of CDT models through the identification of a dimensionless oscillation number (
