Shear-Induced Pore Evolution in Granular Materials: Micromechanical Effects of Stress Path, Particle Shape, and Packing Density
Understanding the microstructural evolution of granular soils under different loading conditions is essential for linking grain-scale mechanisms to macroscopic behavior. This study introduces a combined discrete element method and image analysis framework to investigate the evolution of pore space characteristics in...
