• The effect of size on the strength of coarse rock aggregates and large rockfill samples through experimental data (2014, background): “The size effect plays a role in brittle sand grain and rock aggregate crushing strength [1,28,29].”
• An investigation of single sand particle fracture using X-ray micro-tomography (2015, background): “These initial voids have the effect of reducing the stress needed for the development of the fracture, which results in creating a size effect in terms of particle strength (McDowell & Bolton, 1998; Nakata et al., 1999; McDowell & Amon, 2000).”
• An approach to enhance efficiency of DEM modelling of soils with crushable grains (2015, background): “Granular microporous soils have shown (McDowell & Amon, 2000) larger withinsize variability and smaller across-sizes variability than nonmicroporous soils.”
