Geometric Effect of Asperities on Shear Mechanism of Rock Joints

Three-dimensional tracking of changes of asperities is one of the most important ways to illustrate shear mechanism of rock joints during testing. In this paper, the changes of the role of asperities during different stages of shearing are described by using a new methodology for the characterizatio...
