Title: PEBBLES Operation and Theory Manual

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1009155· OSTI ID:1009155

The PEBBLES manual describes the PEBBLES code. The PEBBLES code is a computer program designed to simulation the motion, packing and vibration of spheres that undergo various mechanical forces including gravitation, Hooke’s law force and various friction forces. The frictional forces include true static friction that allows non-zero angles of repose. Each pebble is individually simulated using the distinct element method.
