Stress and Failure Analysis of Rapidly Rotating Asteroid (29075) 1950 DA
Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Daniel J. Scheeres
Rozitis et al. recently reported that near-Earth asteroid (29075) 1950 DA, whose bulk density ranges from 1.0 g/cm3 to 2.4 g/cm3, is a rubble pile and requires a cohesive strength…
Constraints on the Physical Properties of Main Belt Comet P/2013 R3 from its Breakup Event
Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Daniel J. Scheeres, Paul Sánchez +1
Jewitt et al. (2014) recently reported that main belt comet P/2013 R3 experienced a breakup, probably due to rotational disruption, with its components separating on mutually hyper…
Structural failure of two-density-layer cohesionless biaxial ellipsoids
Masatoshi Hirabayashi
This paper quantitatively evaluates structural failure of biaxial cohesionless ellipsoids that have a two-density-layer distribution. The internal density layer is modeled as a sph…
