tlooto Summary

Assesses fracture of sand particles using discrete element method, considering factors like mineralogy, morphology, and porosity.

Abstract

Shearing or compression of granular materials causes particles to translate and rotate relative to each other, interlock or fracture depending on their mineralogy, morphology, porosity, applied str...
