旋转不稳定引起表面脱落的小行星内部结构

Internal Structure of Asteroids Having Surface Shedding due to Rotational Instability

摘要:

小行星的表面脱落是一种失效模式,表面材料由于超过临界旋转期的强大离心力而飞离,而内部结构不会发生显著变形。本文提出了小行星内部的一种可能结构,这种结构会因快速旋转而导致表面脱落。一个碎石堆小行星被模拟成一个球体,由一个表面壳和一个同心的内核组成,整个组件称为测试体。假设试验体绕恒定旋转轴均匀旋转。我们还假设,当体积密度和摩擦角不变时,表层壳的凝聚力不同于内核的凝聚力。首先,建立了基于极限分析的分析模型,给出了实际表面脱落条件的上、下限。其次,我们使用软球离散元法(SSDEM)研究由于准静态自旋的测试体的动态变形。在本文中,我们展示了这两种方法的一致性。此外,SSDEM模拟表明,初始故障总是发生在局部,而不是全局。此外,随着型芯变大,放样构件的尺寸变小。这些结果意味着,如果祖细胞体内有足够强的核心,表面脱落是最可能的失效模式。

英文摘要:

Surface shedding of an asteroid is a failure mode where surface materials fly off due to strong centrifugal forces beyond the critical spin period, while the internal structure does not deform significantly. This paper proposes a possible structure of an asteroid interior that leads to such surface shedding due to rapid rotation rates. A rubble pile asteroid is modeled as a spheroid composed of a surface shell and a concentric internal core, the entire assembly called the test body. The test body is assumed to be uniformly rotating around a constant rotation axis. We also assume that while the bulk density and the friction angle are constant, the cohesion of the surface shell is different from that of the internal core. First, developing an analytical model based on limit analysis, we provide the upper and lower bounds for the actual surface shedding condition. Second, we use a Soft-Sphere Discrete Element Method (SSDEM) to study dynamical deformation of the test body due to a quasi-static spin-up. In this paper we show the consistency of both approaches. Additionally, the SSDEM simulations show that the initial failure always occurs locally and not globally. In addition, as the core becomes larger, the size of lofted components becomes smaller. These results imply that if there is a strong enough core in a progenitor body, surface shedding is the most likely failure mode.
