Abstract

The Hertz contact law for two linear elastic spheres plays a very important role inthe discrete element method (DEM). Within the classic Hertz contact theory, the contactstrain energy distribution in the two contacting spheres is analytically derived, whichstates that the ratio between the strain en...
