Discrete Element Modeling and Simulation of Soybean Seed Using Multi-Spheres and Super-Ellipsoids

The accuracy of particle shape characterization is the key to the study of particle dynamics. This study proposes two modeling methods, super-ellipsoid approach (SE) and multi-sphere approach (MS), to describe the discrete element method (DEM) model of soybean seeds with the goal of improving the ac...
