title = "Efficient implementation of complex particle shapes in the lattice solid model",
abstract = "The lattice solid model is a particle based simulation model for the study of earthquake micro-physics and rock mechanics. It consists of particles interacting by various types of mechanisms such as elastic-brittle forces and friction. Results of laboratory experiments have shown that the grain shape has a major influence on the frictional properties of fault gouge. In order to enable realistic simulations it is thus important to include the capability to model non-spherical particles into the simulation software. To achieve this goal a new class of particles with variable shapes have been implemented in the lattice solid model. The shape of the particles is described by an arbitrary number of piecewise spherical patches. This leads to a good balance between the computational cost of the contact detection and calculation of interactions between particles and the range of particle shapes available.",
