Numerical Determination of RVE for Heterogeneous Geomaterials Based on Digital Image Processing Technology

Representative volume element (RVE) is an important parameter in numerical tests of mechanical properties of heterogeneous geomaterials. For this study, a digital image processing (DIP) technology was proposed for estimating the RVE of heterogeneous geomaterials. A color image of soil and rock mixtu...
