To evaluate the effects of particle size, water saturation and salinity on the mechanical
properties of coral particles, single particle crushing tests were performed on 366 dried and …

The acoustic emission (AE) technique can be used to locate failure-induced AE sources and
provides an alternative to continuously visualise the development of failures inside stressed …

The study of failure mechanisms from a microperspective demands a comprehensive
understanding of the initiation and evolution of shear banding within granular materials …

Abstract Changes in particle granulometry could lead to significant changes in a soil's
behavior, making an understanding of micro-scale granulometry essential for practical …

The aim of this work was to investigate a wide range of grain sizes of sand in the pre-yield
regime during compression through the combined study of ultrasound (US) wave speed and …
