Detailed Description

template<class NormalForceInteraction, class FrictionForceInteraction = EmptyFrictionInteraction, class AdhesiveForceInteraction = EmptyAdhesiveInteraction>
class Interaction< NormalForceInteraction, FrictionForceInteraction, AdhesiveForceInteraction >

Contains information about the contact between two interactables, BaseInteraction::P_ and BaseInteraction::I_;.

An instance is created every time two BaseInteractables (particles or walls) get into contact with another, and gets deleted when the contact ends.

Next, the call process is described for this function for the case of two particles (it is very similar for a particle-wall contact.

Then, in each time step, every time that a contact is detected, DPMBase::computeInternalForces is called, which calls BaseParticle::getInteractionWith to create a new Interaction (setting the links to the interactables P_ and I_ and adds it to the InteractionHandler) or find an existing one. When a new Interaction is created, the Species determines what kind of Interaction it will be. DPMBase::computeInternalForces also sets the timeStamp_, normal_, overlap_, distance_, and contactPoint_ of the Interaction.

Then, computeForce is called, which sets the force_, which sets BaseInteraction::force_ and BaseInteraction::torque_ of the Interaction, and a few temporary values to communicate between the three different computeForce routines (see diamond inheritance below).

The force_ and torque_ is then used in DPMBase::integrateBeforeForceComputation and DPMBase::integrateAfterForceComputation to calcutate the new positions and velocities.

As there are many types of contact forces, the class is templated to allow for different force models. This is done in a diamond inheritance structure: First, three kinds of Interactions are created:

• NormalForceInteraction: Computes the normal contact force and sets the torque to zero (we currently only have spherical particles). Also sets relativeVelocity_, normalRelativeVelocity_, absoluteNormalForce_.
• FrictionForceInteraction: Computes tangential contact force and torques.
• AdhesiveForceInteraction: Computes the short-range normal contact force.

A full Interaction object is then derived by inheriting from all of the above:

void Interaction< NormalForceInteraction, FrictionForceInteraction, AdhesiveForceInteraction >::computeForce ( )

final

Computes the normal, tangential, and adhesive forces.

Computes the normal, tangential, and adhesive forces (in that order). The order is important, as the normal force computation also calculates some additional parameters required by the other force laws: relativeVelocity_, normalRelativeVelocity_, absoluteNormalForce_.

Interaction< NormalForceInteraction, FrictionForceInteraction, AdhesiveForceInteraction > * Interaction< NormalForceInteraction, FrictionForceInteraction, AdhesiveForceInteraction >::copy ( ) const

final

Creates a copy of this Interaction.

Useful for polymorphism as it can be called from a BaseInteraction* pointer.

Definition at line 177 of file Interaction.h.

Mdouble Interaction< NormalForceInteraction, FrictionForceInteraction, AdhesiveForceInteraction >::getElasticEnergy ( ) const

final

Returns the elastic energy stored in the Interaction.

Returns the elastic energy stored in the Interaction, adding up contributions from the normal, frictional and adhesive interaction The elastic (=potential) energy is defined as the energy gained by separating P_ and I_.

Returns
