Alex – the method described in the thesis as “dynamic Bekker” comes very close to the SCM method associated with the group that put out reference [24] at page 56 in the thesis. Incidentally, probably the original reference to SCM is this: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-22167-5_8
In Chrono, the SCM method is widely used, the best reference is this: https://asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/computationalnonlinear/article/18/8/081007/1156640. The method described in thesis has not been *distributed* in Chrono. This doesn’t mean that somebody else didn’t implement it in a Chrono fork and reported results – Chrono is open source, and folks can implement what they find suitable.

Drozda Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2024 5:40 PM To: ProjectChrono <[email protected]> Subject: [chrono] "Dynamic Bekker" Method Good afternoon, I'm working on some terramechanics research and came across this dissertation where the author refers to one of the methods used to determine traction physics in Chrono is something they call a "dynamic Bekker" method. The short discussion is here on page 56, and a little more on page 72. wsmithw_1.pdf (umich.edu)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/108811/wsmithw_1.pdf__;!!Mak6IKo!JZ3uV5o9cIruesErnaSDsoKTmJIS68c3wvkM9zq1Y1ahrFdsk2IzZMZqA0sNYEkEgvoQ10qbl6brQSeg$> I was wondering, neither of the references the paper uses to describe this method seem to have a strong connection to Chrono. Is the method shown in this dissertation still used in Project Chrono/was it ever used, or did the author misunderstand how the software works? And if it is used, do you have a solid reference for the explanation of the method? Hoping to ensure that I'm citing the proper sources. Thanks!
