The fractal micro mechanics of normal compression
The fundamental fractal micro mechanics of normal compression of granular materials is studied using DEM. This paper examines the emergence of a finite fractal bounded by two particle sizes as stress increases, and the evolution of various definitions of the ‘smallest particles’. It is revealed that...
