Evolution of the Mesoscopic Parameters and Mechanical Properties of Granular Materials upon Loading

Biaxial tests of granular materials under different lateral pressures were numerically simulated to study both the macromechanical behavior and evolution of mesoscopic parameters, including the coordination number, degree, clustering coefficient, and average shortest path length, which can provide i...
