Graphene oxide (GO) was used in this study as a template to successfully synthesize silicon
oxide (SiOx) based 2D-nanomaterials, adapting the same morphological features as the GO …

The morphology evolution of copper powder was studied under various ball-milling
experimental conditions, such as low and high rotation speeds and a ball diameter of 1 mm …

This study investigates the interplay between particle shape, grading and initial sample
density, three of the most important factors influencing the mechanical behaviour of sheared …

Continous stresses and strains due to unwanted vibrations are one of the major sources of
failures of mechanical systems and structures. Mechanical systems and structures (ie …

This study presents the effect of aspect ratio on the micro-scale responses of granular
materials using the discrete element method (DEM). The ratio of width to height ratio of a …

This paper examines the effect of particle shape, in particular, aspect ratio, on particle
orientation in an LS-DEM simulation of a granular specimen, subject to triaxial compression …
