A CT image-based discrete element model (DEM) incorporating the realistic particle
morphology of sand grains was developed to investigate the micro-mechanical behaviours …

An in-situ triaxial shearing of a quartz sand sample with X-ray micro-tomography scanning is
carried out. A grid-based method is presented to experimentally quantify the strain field of …

For research on granular materials, establishing a method to calculate continuum strain from
particle displacements is necessary for understanding the material behaviour at macro‐level …

Production of methane from hydrate-bearing sediments requires hydrate dissociation for
releasing mobile methane gas in sediments prior to gas production operations. Fines may …

Triaxial compression experiments on dry Ottawa sand are numerically simulated using Finite
Discrete Element Method (FDEM) in conjunction with X-ray CT imaging. A novel framework …

The soil response in triaxial compression tests, that are commonly treated as element tests,
is known to be inhomogeneous. Several studies have revealed the localisation of …

Acoustic emission (AE) reading is among the most common methods for monitoring the
behavior of brittle materials such as rock and concrete. This study uses discrete element …

The formulation and calibration of constitutive models for geomaterials require material
behaviour from experiments under a wide range of triaxial loading conditions. However …

Customer-centric marketing campaigns generate a large portion of e-commerce website
traffic for Walmart. As the scale of customer data grows larger, expanding the marketing …

The heterogeneity of a dense sand specimen in triaxial compression has been revealed in
many different studies using tools such as x-ray computed tomography. It has been shown …
