A new contact detection algorithm for non-spherical particles in the Discrete Element Method

Houlsby (2009) presented the concept of "potential particles", a method for modelling non-circular particles for the Discrete Element Method (DEM). Potential particles can assume a wide variety of shapes, ranging from circular to almost polygonal in 2-D and from spherical to almost polyhed...
