Project Tengattini 2023

Triaxial test of a cemented granular material with a Discrete Element Modelization.
The goal of this project is to reproduce numerically the experimental observations of [1,2] where the mechanical behavior of a cemented granular material is investigated under triaxial condition. In particular, a discrete element model is employed.
