Structured granular materials exhibit strongly anisotropic mechanical behaviours resulting
from the directional properties of their microstructural components such as grain shape …

We employ a hierarchical multiscale modeling approach to investigate the transitions of
localized deformation patterns in high-porosity sandstone subjected to sustained shear to …

Deformation experiments with concurrent X-ray microtomography are used to characterize
the mechanical properties of a high-porosity carbonate rock from Central Europe (the …

The mechanical behavior and the influence of compaction banding on the hydraulic
properties in soft porous rocks were studied. The tested rock was Calcarenite Tuffeau de …

The mechanical behavior and failure mode of porous rocks vary with their microstructures.
The formation of compaction bands (CBs) has been captured with high precision via in situ …

Sedimentary rocks are inherently anisotropic and prone to strain localization. While the
influence of rock anisotropy on the brittle/dilative regime has been studied extensively, its …

The present study attempts to examine the behavior of circular tunnel excavation in rock
mass under anisotropic stress conditions with various postpeak behaviors. A brief review of …

Occurrence of deformation bands developing with various orientations in a low-porosity
bioclastic calcarenite in the Cotiella Massif (Spanish Pyrenees), questions about the …
