Numerical Simulation of Tidal Evolution of a Viscoelastic Body Modelled with a Mass-Spring Network
Julien Frouard, Alice C. Quillen, Michael Efroimsky +1
We use a damped mass-spring model within an N-body code to simulate the tidal evolution of the spin and orbit of a self-gravitating viscoelastic spherical body moving around a poin…

Crustal Failure on Icy Moons from a Strong Tidal Encounter
Alice C. Quillen, David Giannella, John G. Shaw +1
Close tidal encounters among large planetesimals and moons should have been more common than grazing or normal impacts. Using a mass spring model within an N-body simulation, we si…
