Abstract: Abstract Alpacas are increasingly kept in Europe for different purposes including fibre production. Yearly shearing is necessary to harvest fibre and for welfare reasons. Different methods of restraint are used during shearing, which may affect… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jrmge.2020.01.007
Abstract: Abstract To investigate the post-liquefaction shearing behaviour of saturated gravelly soil, laboratory tests were conducted using a static-dynamic multi-purpose triaxial apparatus. In addition, numerical simulations using the discrete element method (DEM) were performed to preliminarily… read more here.
