On the continuous contact force models for soft materials in multibody dynamics

A general and comprehensive analysis on the continuous contact force models for soft materials in multibody dynamics is presented throughout this work. The force models are developed based on the foundation of the Hertz law together with a hysteresis damping parameter that accounts for the energy di...
