An optimized material removal process
We conduct boundary element simulations of a contact problem consisting of an elastic medium subject to tangential load. Using a particle swarm optimization algorithm, we find the optimal shape and location of the micro-contacts to maximize for a given load the stored elastic energy contributing to the removal of a spherical particle contained in between the micro-contacts. We propose an ice scream scoop as an application of this optimization process.
