FEM data sets for heat generation due to plastic deformation and the and associated contact temperature during a normal impact between an elastic-perfectly-plastic particle and a rigid surface.

This dataset contains essential data from the Finite Element Method (FEM) model predicting heat generation due to plastic deformation during the normal impact of a deformable spherical particle and a rigid flat substrate. Part of this data was processed and featured in a publication of a journal article (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijimpeng.2023.104831). The following is the description of the data files and the associated figures in the original paper. 
'Energy_Vy200_1200 .xlsx' and 'Temp_Vy200_1200 .xlsx' -  data for the evolution of heat and nodal temperature, respectively for varying impact velocities. Data was used for Figs.5 -7 in the published paper.
'Energy_YM_5_1000.xlsx' and 'Temp_YM_5_1000.xlsx' - data for the evolution of heat and nodal temperature, respectively for varying Young moduli. Data was used for Figs. 8 and 9 in the published paper.
'Energy_YS_50_800.xlsx' , 'Temp_YS_50_800.xlsx' - data for the evolution of heat and nodal temperature, respectively for varying yield strengths. Data was used for Figs. 10 and 11 in the published paper.
'Energy_Den_500_8000.xlsx' , 'TempC_Den_500_8000.xlsx'- data for the evolution of heat and nodal temperature, respectively for varying densities. Data was used for Figs. 12 and 13 in the published paper.
'Temp_TC.xlsx' , 'Temp_HC.xlsx' - data for the evolution of nodal temperatures for varying thermal conductivity and specific heat capacities, respectively. Data was used for Figs.  14 -17 in the published paper.
