Numerical Comparison of Contact Force Models in the Discrete Element Method

The discrete element method (DEM) is usually applied in analyzing the scientifical origin/evolution of the asteroids and the landing/sampling of the regolith. In order to manage the contact between the non-spherical granules, the Polygonal Contact Model (PCM) has been introduced into the DEM method....
