The mechanical behaviour of granular materials depends on their grading. Crushing of particles under compression or shear modifies the grain size distribution, with a tendency for the percentage of…
1. Introduction. The particle crushing behavior of granular materials is a significant concern in both industry and academia. There are several documented cases of this phenomenon, such as the particle crushing of railway ballast [1], calcareous sand [2], avalanche debris flows [3], recycled aggregate mixtures [4], and rockfill materials [5].Particle crushing …
Thus, crushing induces a rotation of the plastic flow direction away from the purely deviatoric case; in plasticity terms, plastic potential changes when crushing is introduced. ... source of …
The relevance of roundness to the crushing strength of granular materials. ... The new criterion is suitable for implementation in particle-scale crushing simulations of granular masses, using, for example, the discrete-element method, as well as in improved probabilistic frameworks.

Nevertheless, crushing granular materials is a complex process influenced by many factors. For example, the distribution of unbreakable particles in the volume of the sample is crucial. Steel balls need to touch good candidates for breaking (particles of similar size) to maintain the mechanism leading to fractal distribution.
The results show a nonstandard evolution of the friction angle in relationship to grain size if compared to similar studies on coarse granular materials. Although grain crushing occurs during compression, the strain-stress curves of the different materials with different grain sizes do remain close.
The prediction of the crushing strength of sands is still an unresolved problem in soil mechanics. For natural sand grains with a regular geometry, Weibull theory has long been adopted to explain the decay of a nominal crushing strength with increasing particle size. The Weibull parameters for a given soil relate strength to size, and, although useful, this is an …
Quasi-static and dynamic compression experiments are conducted on quartz sand, to study the stress-induced gradation evolution of granular materials under confined comminution.The particle size distributions obtained from laser diffractometry show three regimes, and the second regime is found to satisfy a power law or fractal distribution.
The effect of grain crushing and grain size on the evolution of water retention curve is investigated based on the framework of Unsaturated Breakage Mechanics (UBM) (Buscarnera & Einav, 2012). The previous study by Gao et al. (2016) have been complemented by additional compression and soil water retention data on two types of granular soils with coarser and …

To fill this gap, we propose a new constitutive theory for crushable granular materials that captures the effect of initial non-spherical particle shapes on both elastic deformation and yielding, as well as the evolution of the shape of the particles upon compression. ... 1996 The fractal crushing of granular materials.

Signal processing techniques have been introduced in the past two decades into engineering applications to analyze particle-scale microstructure. In this paper, a different approach of signal processing techniques for the geotechnical engineering application is introduced. The crushing of granular particles was analyzed by using the sound analysis …

Particle crushing of granular materials in direct shear tests leads to a power-law distribution of fragment sizes, and is accurately characterized by the fragmentation fractal dimension drawn from the power exponent. Based on the fractal model for particle fragmentation, a power function is advocated to represent the shear strength criterion of ...

The compressive and breakage response of coarse granular materials are further investigated using the High Pressure Isotropic Compression (HPIC) device (Mun & McCartney., 2017). This thesis introduces several troubleshooting attempts of the HPIC device and the developed protocols to conduct high-pressure crushing tests.

Another key feature of the testing program is using two kinds of commercial granular materials, in this case angular silica sand and spherical glass beads (Fig. 1c, d). Silica sand when saturated has been widely used to investigate the undrained shear behavior of soils in previous studies [31, 33, 42, 43].With the aims of present study, uniform silica sand with …
1. Introduction. The packing characteristics of granular materials have been studied for over a century. It is generally accepted that the comparative density of any granular material is a function of particle shape, size range and size distribution (Burmister, 1938), however predictions for the density or porosity for a granular assembly are usually empirical, and are …
