Particle shape-dependence of the stability properties of granular piles — •Steffen Richters-Finger and Stefan J. Linz — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Germany

It is well known that the shape of particles has a major influence on the behavior of densely packed granular matter making it an important subject of interest for various applications. Multiple schemes for the numerical simulation of non-spherical particles have previously been proposed in the literature [1].

Applying a discrete function representation (DFR) approach for collision detection, we investigate the shape-dependence of the stability properties (e.g. critical angle of stability) of a granular pile in a two-dimensional discrete element model for a wide range of polar geometries generated by the so-called superformula [2].
