Abstract: Abstract To constrain the impact of preexisting mechanical weaknesses on strain localization culminating in macroscopic shear failure, we simulate triaxial compression of layered sedimentary rock using three-dimensional discrete element method simulations. We develop a novel… read more here.

Abstract: The excavation in layered rocks is an issue for a number of geoengineering applications; these kinds of rocks all exhibit transverse isotropic features due to the process of metamorphic differentiation. This paper focuses on providing… read more here.
