The paper presents the development of algorithms that have been implemented in a computer program used to simulate the performance of idealized granular systems composed of elliptical-shaped particles. The work is an extension of numerical simulation methods which have been successfully used in micromechanics research on disk-shaped or polygon-shaped particles by the authors and others. The simulation of elliptical-shaped particles offers the possibility to explore the influence of particle shape on the micromechanical behaviour of plane assemblies of particles and the stress-strain behaviour of these systems at the macro scale. Typical results of simulation runs are presented to illustrate the importance of particle shape on the macroscopic stress-strain response of plane systems.
