A coupled numerical method to study the local stability of jointed rock slopes under long-distance bench blasting
In this work, a submodel coupling method has been developed to tackle this problem by coupling LS-DYNA and the four-dimensional lattice spring model (4D-LSM). LS-DYNA is used to simulate the detonation process...

Influence of iron oxide coating on the tribological behavior of sand grain contacts
Granular materials are often subjected to certain degrees of coating in natural conditions due to weathering and soil–environment interactions and the current literature has suggested that the development of s...

Mechanical, micro-structure and contour map** analyses of highly-porous intermediate-texture analog rock from instrumented micro-indentation in conjunction with statistical/machine learning tools
Exploring the spatial variability of the mechanical properties of rocks and cementitious/porous materials, provides an understanding on the distribution of the mechanical phases and the surface characteristics...

Experimental and analytical investigation on the normal contact behavior of natural proppant simulants
Granular materials are of interest in various fields of engineering and science and they commonly display rough morphologies which govern their constitutive behavior. One of the emerging applications of granul...

Open AccessMicromechanical experiments using a new inter-granule loading apparatus on gravel to ballast-sized materials
Micromechanical and tribological studies of geological materials with a particular focus on their contact-mechanics behavior at the grain scale are currently a major interest in the engineering and geoscience ...
