Status: Answered => Open Xu is still having a problem: Hi Bruno, Thank you for your reply. > I noticed that you don't take kinetic energy into account, is it negligible? Kinetic energy has already been considered in MWE(#9) above. Anyway, kinetic energy is negligible for not conserving energy. The microscale energy calculated by: Law=Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack(traceEnergy=True) Estrain=Law.elasticEnergy() Efriction=Law.plasticDissipation() Edamp=O.energy['nonviscDamp'] Ekin=utils.kineticEnergy() Etot=law.elasticEnergy()-Ep_ini+O.energy['nonviscDamp']-Edamp_ini+law.plasticDissipation()+utils.kineticEnergy()-Ekin_ini, The input work done by external stress: dw=(0.5*(O.cell.preVelGrad+O.cell.velGrad)*utils.getStress())*O.dt*(O.cell.hSize).determinant() W=W+dw The two parts being the same when using sphere particles . However, the microscale energy ('Etot') is greater than input work when using clump particles. Other details can be seen in MWE#9.
