Abstract

With the assumption of a linear-dashpot interaction force, the coefficient of restitution, ε (k, γ), can be computed as a function of the elastic and dissipative material constants, k and γ by integrating Newton's equation of motion for an isolated pair of colliding particles. If we require further that the particles interact exclusively repulsive, which is a common assumption in granular systems, we obtain an expression ε (k, γ) which differs even qualitatively from the known result ε (k, γ). The expression ε (k, γ) allows to relate Molecular Dynamics simulations to event-driven Molecular Dynamics for a widely used collision model. © 2007 Springer-Verlag.
