Table 2:

Base Simulation Parameters

Minimum interparticle distance dI 0.5
Max spring length dS 2.3 dI
Number of nodes N 40
Number of springs per node NS/N 8
Spring constant ks 0.22
Young’s modulus E ~ 2
Time step dt 0.001
Damping time tdamp 100

Notes: Due to variations in the generation of the random spring network, the number of springs per node and number of nodes varies from simulation to simulation. N varies by about ±2 and NS varies by about ±20. Additional simulation parameters are listed in Tables 3 and 4.
