Mechanical behavior and microstructural evolution of deep overburden sand under high confining pressure during cyclic loading: a CFD-DEM study

Path dependency in multistage direct shear tests on a dense mixed-grained soil: a DEM-based micromechanical interpretation

Multistage direct shear testing reduces material demand and specimen-to-specimen variability compared with conventional testing, but later stages may become path-dependent because the specimen is not fully reset between loading steps. This study investigates this path dependency for a dense mixed-grained gravel–sand wi...

Fracture driving forces in finite strain corotational finite element methods

The evaluation of 3D fracture driving forces under finite strain regimes is crucial for damage tolerance assessments of critical engineering structures. This technical note compares the performance and limitations of two complementary methodologies integrated within updated Lagrangian corotational solvers: the Eshelby-...
