Gj.Lo, P. Papadopoulos (UDC: 531.223:519.673)
Abstract
This article discusses a discrete element method that employs the theory of non-linearly elastic
Cosserat points. The method is applied to frictionless multi-body contact between ellipsoids.
Time integration and the detection and treatment of contacts are discussed in connection with
the computer implementation of the method.
