This paper presents a numerical-based seismic displacement analysis for slopes
considering the spatial variability of soils. Two generic slope models are developed based …

The random arrangement of particle composition or the heterogeneity of the particles'
inherent properties is what causes the variability of mechanical parameters in sandy soils …

This paper investigates the micro-to-macro response of granular materials influenced by
multi-scale morphological characteristics using spherical harmonics and LS-DEM. Our …

Predicting the constitutive response of granular soils is a fundamental goal in
geomechanics. This paper presents a machine learning (ML) framework for the prediction of …

Limited understanding of how recycled aggregate (RA) affects the mechanical behaviour of
recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) hinders its widespread adoption for sustainable …

Microscopic properties of granular materials typically exhibit significant heterogeneity.
Realistic particle crushing simulation in granular materials requires the use of model that …

In this work, we numerically investigate the quasi-static shear behavior of ellipsoids under
triaxial compression using the level set discrete element method (LS-DEM). Assemblies …

Mechanical adhesion among lunar regolith particles significantly influences the shear
characteristics of lunar regolith. However, experimental limitations on Earth and challenges …

From a practical point of view, grain structure heterogeneities are key parameters that
control the rock response and still remains a challenge to incorporate in a quantitative …

The use of disposable masks, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to
an increased focus on sustainable disposal and recycling methods. This study investigates …
