DEM Investigation of the Influence of Minerals on Crack Patterns and Mechanical Properties of Red Mudstone
Rocks are natural heterogeneous materials. It is common for a rock to have several kinds of minerals, which will have a significant effect on its mechanical behavior. The purpose of the numerical simulation study in this paper is to explore the effects of minerals on the crack patterns and mechanica...
