%% ContactForceN_ElastoPlasticLinear class
%
%% Description
%
% This is a sub-class of the <ContactForceN.html ContactForceN> class for
% the implementation of the *Linear Elasto-Plastic* normal contact force
% model.
%
% This model assumes that the normal contact force has only an elastic
% component $F_{n}^{e}$ that is provided by a hysteric linear spring.
%
% The hysteric spring stiffness adopts different v
