An Efficient Numerical Approach to Modeling the Effects of Particle Shape on Rubble-pile Dynamics
We present an approach for the inclusion of nonspherical constituents in high-resolution N -body discrete element method (DEM) simulations. We use aggregates composed of bonded spheres to model nonspherical components. Though the method may be applied more generally, we detail our implementation in...
