Definition: Unbalanced Force

Compute the ratio of mean (or maximum, if use MaxForce) summary force on bodies and maximum force magnitude on interactions. For perfectly static equilibrium, summary force on all bodies is zero (since forces from interactions cancel out and induce no acceleration or particles); this ratio will tend to zero as simulation stabilizes, though zero is never reached because of finite precision computation. Sufficiently small value can be e.g. 1e-2 or smaller, depending on how much  equilibrium it should be.

Calculate kinetic energy in YADE

The term kinetic energy E_{c} when modelling in DEM is needed to define which state the simulation is in: quasi-static or dynamic.

For a quasi-static system, we have E_{c} < 10^{-7} and for dynamic system we’ll have E_{c}>10^{-7} (J).

E_{c} is calculated by the formula: \sum {\frac{1}{2}} ( {m_{i}}{v_{i}}^{2}+\omega ( I{{\omega }^{T}} ) )

Where:

m_{i}: density of the particle i

v_{i}: velocity of particles

I: inertia tensor
