مستخلص: Compressive strength is a key to understanding the internal structure of dust aggregates in protoplanetary disks and their resultant bodies, such as comets and asteroids in the solar system. Previous work has modeled the compressive strength of highly porous dust aggregates with volume filling factors lower than 0.1. However, a comprehensive understanding of the compressive strength from low (<0.1) to high (>0.1) volume filling factors is lacking. In this paper, we investigate the compressive strength of dust aggregates by using aggregate compression simulations resolving constituent grains based on Johnson-Kendall-Roberts theory to formulate the compressive strength comprehensively. We perform a series of numerical simulations with moving periodic boundaries mimicking the compression behavior. As a result, we find that the compressive strength becomes sharply harder when the volume filling factor exceeds 0.1. We succeed in formulating the compressive strength comprehensively by taking into account the rolling motion of aggregates for low volume filling factors and the closest packing of aggregates for high volume filling factors. We also find that the dominant compression mechanisms for high volume filling factors are sliding and twisting motions, while rolling motion dominates for low volume filling factors. We confirm that our results are in good agreement with previous numerical studies. We suggest that our analytical formula is consistent with the previous experimental results if we assume the surface energy of silicate is ≃210 ± 90 mJ m−2. Now, we can apply our results to properties of small compact bodies, such as comets, asteroids, and pebbles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
