Sand-rubber mixtures (SRMs) are newly developed geomaterials that have been widely
applied in geotechnical engineering. However, the precise particle-level mechanical …

Sand–rubber mixtures (SRMs) consisting of stiff sand particles and soft rubber particles are
typical binary mixture materials that possess a variety of complicated properties. The …

SUMMARY A series of laboratory experiments and numerical simulations are conducted to
explore the characteristics of mixtures composed of sand and rubber particles of the same …

This paper discusses the behavior of sand-rubber particle mixtures under one-dimensional
compression tests. First, experimental results on ideally prepared sand-rubber particle …

This paper presents realistic discrete element method (DEM) simulations of mixtures of sand
and rubber grains. The shape of the grains and the deformability of the rubber are …

A CT image-based discrete element model (DEM) incorporating the realistic particle
morphology of sand grains was developed to investigate the micro-mechanical behaviours …

Abstract Rubber–soil mixtures (RSM), formed by mixing two types of granules with vastly
different mechanical properties, has the potential for serving as a cost-effective substitute for …

Mixtures of sand and rubber particles were simulated using DEM. Rubber content varied
from 0% to 50%. The numerical samples were sheared in the range of 10− 5–10− 2% of ε 1 …

This study investigates the effect of rubber content (RC) on the mechanical properties of
sand‒rubber mixtures (SRMs) using a multibody meshfree approach, which permits faithful …

This study presents a series of discrete element method (DEM) simulations consisting of
mixtures of stiff (sand) and soft (rubber) particles, subjected to monotonic triaxial shearing …
