Confined Uniaxial Compaction Observing Triaxial Response of Granular Media under Quasi-static Loading Conditions
DownloadFall 2019
Experimental studies have been carried out in this thesis to enhance the understanding of granular material failure by observing the effects of particle size on material properties. Understanding the granular behaviour of materials is important in pharmaceutical research, product quality in the...

Quasi-static confined uniaxial compaction of granular alumina and boron carbide observing the particle size effects
Download2019-10-25
Nicewicz, Piotr, Peciar, Peter, Macho, Oliver, Sano, Tomoko, Hogan, James D.
The quasi-static confined uniaxial compaction of granular alumina and boron carbide was studied, and the effect of triaxial stress on the materials as a function of increasing particle size was observed. The average particle sizes studied for granular alumina were 170 ± 63, 230 ± 55, 330 ± 67,...
