Stress distribution in conical sandpiles formed with ellipsoidal particles
The properties of a sandpile such as angle of repose and stress distribution are affected by many variables, among which particle shape is one of the most important ones. In this work, ellipsoids which can represent a large range of shapes varying from disk- to cylinder-type are used. The discrete e...
