A dynamic experiment at mesoscale is developed to measure local deformation and strain in
granular materials at high temporal and spatial resolutions. The experimental setup is …

The mechanical behavior of granular materials such as sand is not well understood due to
its complex solid/fluid-like behavior. In this paper, Mason sand was investigated to …

In-situ testing capabilities of lab-scale industrial computed tomography are rapidly
improving. In the present study, the compressive deformation behaviour of a flax fibre …
