The macromechanical properties (strength, stiffness, stress‐strain relationship, etc) of the
hydrate‐bearing sediment are often correlated with the hydrate cementation failure …

Gas hydrate-bearing sediment shows complex mechanical characteristics. Its macroscopic
deformation process involves many microstructural changes such as phase transformation …

This paper introduces X-ray tomography as an experimental method that allows grain-scale
measurements for both porosity and degree of saturation. A whole configuration and set-up …

The breakage behaviour of a pre-crushed carbonate sand sheared within a miniature triaxial
loading apparatus is investigated using high-spatial resolution X-ray micro-tomography. Full …

In this paper, localized deformation in partially saturated sand was investigated
quantitatively using microfocus X-ray computed tomography (CT) and an image analysis of …

A hierarchical multiscale modeling approach is used to investigate three-dimensional (3D)
strain localization in granular media. Central to the multiscale approach is a hierarchical …

Previous studies on the hollow cylinder torsional shear test (HCTST) have mainly focused
on the macroscopic behavior, while the micromechanical responses in soil specimens with …

The inter-particle contact evolution of two sheared granular materials, ie, a spherical glass
bead (GB) specimen and an angular Leighton Buzzard Sand (LBS) specimen, is …

Construction and building of engineering structures in geomaterials with soil and rock
mixture (SRM) are often challenging tasks for engineers. While the effects of rock block …

Understanding the mechanical behavior of compacted loess is of great significance to
engineering construction on the Loess Plateau. To gain an in-depth knowledge of the …
