Abstract: The transition in the mechanical behavior of heat-treated intact rock samples and rock samples containing joints with different types of infill materials was investigated at varying strain rates. Both dynamic compression ...

Abstract: Discrete element method (DEM) is widely used to simulate particle crushing, and the simulation results are further utilized for devising constitutive models for soils and rocks. However, particle shape evolution during the ...

Abstract: Coral sand exhibits distinct characteristics that set it apart from hard-grained siliceous sand, posing unique challenges for the design and construction of offshore foundations. One notable aspect of coral sand is particle ...
