Shouldn't be too difficult: geometrical model, interacting geometry, GL functors; functors colliding cylinder with sphere (giving SpheresContactGeometry). That's it. You could make simulation with planar facets first, though, to see if the junction effect is important to justify all this work.
1. If you can, can you make it a little bit more generic, like having different radii at the top and at the bottom, that would give us cones (for r1=0, r2>0 etc), frustum (r1!=r2) and cylinder (r1==r2)? I can help you if you need, no problem. 2. Reflect on whether you will allow interactions with the lateral surface only, or with the lateral surface edges also (singular points!)
