gran rolling_friction epsd :h3

[Syntax:]

rolling_friction epsd :pre

[LIGGGHTS vs. LAMMPS Info:]

This part of "pair gran"_pair_gran.html and 
"fix wall/gran"_fix_wall_gran.html
is not availabe in LAMMPS.

[Description:]

This model can be used as part of "pair gran"_pair_gran.html and 
"fix wall/gran"_fix_wall_gran.html

The alternative elastic-plastic spring-dashpot (EPSD2) model (see Iwashita and Oda) adds an additional 
torque contribution. It is similar to the "EPSD model"_gran_rolling_friction_epsd.html, but in contrast
 to the original model the rolling stiffness k_r is defined as

:c,image(Eqs/pair_gran_hooke_eqEpsd5.gif)

where k_t is the abovementioned tangential stiffness. Furthermore, the viscous damping torque M_rd is disabled at all.

The coefficient of rolling friction (rmu) must be defined as

fix id all property/global coefficientRollingFriction peratomtypepair n_atomtypes value_11 value_12 .. value_21 value_22 .. .
    (value_ij=value for the coefficient of rolling friction between atom type i and j; n_atomtypes is the number of atom types you want to use in your simulation)

This coefficient rmu is equal to the rmu as defined in the "CDT model"_gran_rolling_friction_cdt.html. :pre

IMPORTANT NOTE: You have to use atom styles beginning from 1, e.g. 1,2,3,...
