Contact model for elastically anisotropic bodies and efficient implementation into the discrete element method

Contact model for elastically anisotropic bodies and efficient implementation into the discrete element method

We introduce a contact law for the normal force generated between two contacting, elastically anisotropic bodies of arbitrary geometry. The only requirement is that their surfaces be smooth and frictionless. This anisotropic contact law is obtained from a simplification of the exact solution to the...
