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,...
