Abstract
A comprehensive comparison between the Hertz–Mindlin model and the linear spring model in true triaxial shear simulations of granular soils was conducted using the discrete-element method (DEM). The no-slip Hertz–Mindlin model for general elastic non-spherical particles with smooth surfaces was revisited and implemented for superellipsoidal particles in an in-house DEM code. Three groups of specimens with a grain size distribution of Ottawa 20–30 sands, consisting of spheres, ellipsoids and superellipsoids, respectively, were subjected to triaxial shear DEM simulations with the Hertz–Mindlin model and the linear spring model. The corresponding mechanical behaviours were examined in terms of a series of macro- and micro-parameters. It was found that the linear spring model was able to resemble the Hertz–Mindlin model in aspects of both microscopic and macroscopic mechanical behaviours of granular media with spherical and/or non-spherical particles. This finding suggests that the linear spring model can be used to investigate micro-mechanical behaviours of granular soils, even with complex particle shapes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
