This article presents an analysis of previously published hydraulic conductivity data for a
wide range of sediments. All soils exhibit a prevalent power trend between the hydraulic …

The deformation and failure mechanism and the mechanical behavior of soil and soil-rock
mixture used in an embankment dam was studied using numerical testing, based on a …

Cracking and damage from crystallization of minerals in pores center on a wide range of
problems, from weathering and deterioration of structures to storage of CO 2 via in situ …

We investigate the inter-particle tangential force–displacement behavior of a broad range of
granular materials. The major experiments are conducted using a custom-built …

In the field of granular materials, a link between the microscopic variables (contact force and
displacement) and macroscopic variables (stress and strain) requires an intermediate scale …

The internal structure of a sheared assembly of monodisperse ellipsoids is investigated
using three-dimensional Voronoi analysis. The discrete element method is employed to …

The internal microstructure distribution of cord-rubber-air during the processing of uncured
rubber-cord composites (URCs) determines the finished product's performance. For the first …

We investigate in this study the tribological behavior of two potential-landslide saprolites
conducting grain-scale experiments with an advanced custom-built micro-mechanical …

Local (element-wise) mass conservation is often highly desired for numerical solutions to
coupled poromechanical problems. As an efficient numerical method featuring this property …

The complex mechanical behaviour of granular materials is commonly studied by
considering the evolving particle contact network. An often overlooked feature is the …
