On the micro mechanics of one-dimensional normal compression (2013, result): “Similar work was achieved by Cheng et al. (2003) and Bolton et al. (2008), who investigated various stress paths in addition to isotropic compression, although again a limited number of agglomerates were used.”
The influence of particle characteristics on the behaviour of coarse grained soils (2010, background): “13, resemble the compression curves of sands, in which a distinct yield indicates the onset of significant particle breakage (Coop & Lee, 1993; Bolton et al., 2008).”
DEM analysis of energy dissipation in crushable soils (2012, methodology): “The fundamental importance of energy dissipation has been recognized and explored by a number of authors (McDowell and Bolton, 1998; Tarantino and Hyde, 2005; Ueng and Chen, 2000; Bolton et al., 2008; Einav 2007a, 2007b; Lee and Seed, 1967; Miura and O-hara, 1979).”
An investigation of single sand particle fracture using X-ray micro-tomography (2015, background): “…used crushable aggregates that were composed of spherical particles cemented at their contact points (Robertson, 2000; McDowell & Harireche, 2002; Bolton et al., 2008; Hanley et al., 2011; Wang & Yan, 2012, 2013; Cil & Alshibli, 2012, 2014), whereas Lobo-Guerrero & Vallejo (2005) implemented a…”
An approach to enhance efficiency of DEM modelling of soils with crushable grains (2015, methodology): “This latter method, despite allowing a rich description of single grain shape and variability (Cheng et al., 2003; Bolton et al., 2008; Alonso et al., 2012; Cil & Alshibli, 2012), quickly becomes impractical when the model size grows, as is typical of the large-scale problems of direct engineering…”
