Effect of contact anisotropy on the crushing strength of aggregates

This work deals with the effect of the contact orientation distribution on the crushing of granular materials. At first, a simple drop weight experiment was designed in order to study the effect of the location of three contact edges on the fracture pattern and the strength of a model cylindrical pa...
