Abstract
⺠We model “rubble-pile” asteroids as self-gravitating granular aggregates using a SSDEM code. ⺠Spherical and ellipsoidal aggregates are spun-up beyond disruption. ⺠The presence or lack of friction produces different reshaping/disruption phenomena. ⺠Drucker-Prager yield stress criterion most consistently describes the reshaping process.
