L. Rothenburg et Rj. Bathurst, INFLUENCE OF PARTICLE ECCENTRICITY ON MICROMECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF GRANULAR-MATERIALS, Mechanics of materials, 16(1-2), 1993, pp. 141-152
The paper describes the results of numerical simulation of 2D assembli
es of elliptical-shaped particles. The study is focussed on the influe
nce of the magnitude of particle eccentricity on assembly strength, de
nsity and coordination number.
