Granular materials are ubiquitous in nature and play a prominent role in countless technologies. The mechanical responses of multiphase granular material can vary significantly, when imposed to differential loading rates, depending on confinement, loading type and pore fluid properties. In this thesis, a versatile modelling platform is developed for delineating...
Granular materials are ubiquitous elements of our daily life, representing some of the most manipulated materials on Earth and playing a key role in disparate fields of science and engineering. Considerable research has been performed to explore the factors that impact the mechanical behavior of granular materials. Within this context,...
