Experimental measurement of granular fabric and its evolution under shearing

X-ray μ computed tomography (CT) made three-dimensional in-situ imaging of natural granular materials possible. Previous work using x-ray μCT and triaxial compression tests has studied the 3D kinematics of individual grains during shear banding [1]. This works aims to supplement these measurements o...
