For normal contact models based on material parameters, :math:`k_n = 4/3Ea`. This
damping model is not compatible with cohesive normal models such as *JKR* or *DMT*.
The parameter :math:`\alpha` is related to the restitution coefficient *e*
according to:
where :math:`k_{nd}` is an effective harmonic stiffness equal to the ratio of
the normal force to the overlap. For example, :math:`k_{nd} = 4/3Ea` for a
Hertz contact model based on material parameters with :math:`a` being
the contact radius of :math:`\sqrt{\delta R}`. This damping model is not
compatible with cohesive normal models such as *JKR* or *DMT*. The parameter
:math:`\alpha` is related to the restitution coefficient *e* according to:
