Shapes and Dynamics of Granular Minor Planets The Dynamics of Deformable Bodies Applied to Granular Objects in the Solar System

This book develops a general approach that can be systematically refined to investigate the statics and dynamics of deformable solid bodies. These methods are then employed to small bodies in the Solar System. With several space missions underway and more being planned, interest in our immediate nei...
