Numerical Investigation of Mineral Grain Shape Effects on Strength and Fracture Behaviors of Rock Material

Rock is an aggregate of mineral grains, and the grain shape has an obvious influence on rock mechanical behaviors. Current research on grain shape mostly focuses on loose granular materials and lacks standardized quantitative methods. Based on the CLUMP method in the two-dimensional particle flow co...
