The major principal stress direction angle (ασ) experienced by granular soils varies widely in
engineering, causing different strengths. However, how particle morphology affects the …

The evaluation of triggering potential and induced deformations is crucial for liquefaction
assessment of geosystems constructed on, or comprised of, coarse-grained soils. A series of …

The influence of anisotropic consolidation on the cyclic liquefaction resistance of granular
materials is explored using 3D discrete element method simulations. In this study, the term …

In this work, we numerically investigate the quasi-static shear behavior of ellipsoids under
triaxial compression using the level set discrete element method (LS-DEM). Assemblies …

Particle morphology influences the mechanical behavior of granular soils. Generating
particles with realistic shapes for discrete element method simulations is gaining popularity …

Wax deposition in constant‐temperature transportation of waxy oil with high pour points
poses a significant challenge for the oil industry. The demand for efficient methods to solve …

Soil elements in situ are subjected to multidirectional shearing during earthquakes. Ignoring
the effect of two horizontal shear components generally results in an underestimation of the …

In the present study, four different SPT-based methods for liquefaction assessment namely
Seed and Idriss (S–I), Tokimatsu and Yoshimi (T–Y), Japan Road Association (JRA), and …

Fused quartz and a suitable pore fluid with the same degree of refractive index are widely
used to manufacture the transparent sand, which can be used to emulate the behavior of …
