The focus of this paper will remain on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) similar to the previous paper, though in validating the new contact force-displacement model, results for polystyrene (PS) will also be examined as the deformation of this material more closely conforms to Hertzian mechanics [8] and thus can be more accurately simulated.
