• A homogenization equation for the small strain stiffness of gap-graded granular materials (2020, methodology): “We adopt the following general form of Hardin’s relationship that has been widely used in past studies [65,19,22,46]”
• Exploring the relationship between critical state and particle shape for granular materials (2015, background): “…soils, resulting in valuable data and insights that contribute to an improved understanding in several aspects (e.g., Sukumaran and Ashmawy, 2001; Cho et al., 2006; Rouse et al., 2008; Wichtmann and Triantafyllidis, 2009; Cavarretta et al., 2010; Yang and Wei, 2012; and the references therein).”
• Effect of particle shape and validity of Gmax models for sand: A critical review and a new expression (2016, methodology): “To demonstrate how the state parameter can be used for the validation of Gmax formulas, expressions proposed by Saxena and Reddy [15], Menq [18], Wichtmann and Triantafyllidis [21], and Senetakis et al. [22], denoted here by SR, M, WT and SAP models, respectively, are examined in this study.”
• Shear stiffness of granular material at small strains: does it depend on grain size? (2013, methodology): “Their simple and spherical geometry, together with the same uniformity, allowed the influences of particle shape (Cho et al., 2006) and particle size distribution (Wichtmann & Triantafyllidis, 2009) to be isolated, so that any observed difference is attributable to the difference in particle size.”
• On the influence of a non-cohesive fines content on small strain stiffness, modulus degradation and damping of quartz sand (2015, methodology): “Wichtmann & Triantafyllidis [25,27] have demonstrated that the extended empirical equations presented in this section are suitable to reproduce a large number of experimental data for various sands collected from the literature.”
