- Comment your thought on why there is a change in the internal energies.
- Ans :- When we are removng notches the internal energy was increasing.due to the simple model i cant find the the diffrence in the interface .
- How does the notch affect the results?
- Ans :- When we are adding notches the internal energy decreases and Rigid wall forces increases and contact energy is increasing.adding notchs is reducing the impact of force that was affecting to the model.
