Considerable particle overlap after deformation
Asked by
Dian
Hi all,
I was doing a simple experiment that a 2D multi-layer stack is deformed via horizontal compression. The particles were significantly overlapped after finite amount of compression. I thought that all particles would be almost rigid (i.e., fixed shape, diameter, etc) in DEM modeling, although a very tiny amount of overlap is allowed to generate normal force. But in my experiment, the overlap can be observed clearly. I suspect that this problem is due to improper initialization of some parameters, such as density, youngs modulus, etc. Any comments on it? Thanks.
Best,
Dian
