It is well known that most particle technology studies attempting to predict secondary
properties based on primary properties such as size and shape begin with particle …

Interest for enhancing particle packing of the solid skeleton in concrete stems efforts to
reduce the content of cementitious materials and water/admixture demand, thus decreasing …

The effect of particle shape on the strength, dilatancy, and stress-dilatancy relationship was
systematically investigated through a series of drained triaxial compression tests on sands …

Planetary defense efforts rely on estimates of the mechanical properties of asteroids, which
are difficult to constrain accurately from Earth. The mechanical properties of asteroid …

The effect of particle shape on particle breakage is investigated through triaxial tests on
sand assemblies mixed with non-spherical agglomerates using the discrete element …

The accurate determination of the interface shear strength is essential in the design of
geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures. The particle geometries of three types of soil …

This report investigated the effects of irregular particles on macroscopic and microscopic
behaviour under triaxial compression tests for a range of various roundnesses. A multi …

Abstract The geologist Hakon Wadell proposed the roundness definition in the 1930s for
quantifying the particle angularity of granular soils. Due to the difficulty in obtaining three …

Clinker ash is a byproduct obtained from coal-fired electrical generators. It is a type of
recycled granular material with a complex particle shape and large surface roughness …

The shear behaviors of granular mixtures are studied using the discrete element method.
These granular materials contain real gravel-shaped coarse particles and spherical fine …
