Revisiting Hardin’s parameters for the quantification of particle breakage – A statistical entropy approach (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Leak, J., Barreto, D., Dimitriadi, V., & Imre, E. (2021, July). Revisiting Hardin’s parameters for the quantification of particle breakage – A statistical entropy approach. Presented at Powders & Grains 2021 – 9th International Conference on Micromechanics on Granular Media, Buenos Aires (Virtual), Argentina

It is well recognised that particle breakage in granular materials is affected by stress level, stress path, initial density, and particle size distribution (PSD), amongst others. Furthermore, it has been shown that breakage has a significant influen... Read More about Revisiting Hardin’s parameters for the quantification of particle breakage – A statistical entropy approach.

Probabilistic message passing control for complex stochastic switching systems (2021)
Journal Article
