The Influence of Particles’ Aspect Ratio on the Shear Behaviour of Granular Materials (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Xie, Y. H., Yang, Z. X., & Barreto, D. (2016, August). The Influence of Particles’ Aspect Ratio on the Shear Behaviour of Granular Materials. Presented at 7th International Conference on Discrete Element Methods, Dalian, China

The mechanical response of granular material depends both on the material properties (e.g. stiffness, anisotropy, permeability, etc.) and particle geometry (shape, roughness, etc.). This paper presents a study of the effect of particle shape (i.e. as... Read More about The Influence of Particles’ Aspect Ratio on the Shear Behaviour of Granular Materials.

Revisiting the particle size effects in centrifuge modelling (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nadimi, S., Fonseca, J., Taylor, R. N., & Barreto, D. (2016, June). Revisiting the particle size effects in centrifuge modelling. Presented at The 3rd European Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics, Nantes, France

Geotechnical centrifuge modelling provides an opportunity to examine novel and complex events in a well-controlled and repeatable environment. While grain interaction and contact dynamics are considered in centrifuge modelling, the soil is treated as... Read More about Revisiting the particle size effects in centrifuge modelling.
