...R. López-Vizcaíno; E. Tengblad; V. Navarro Accurately modelling gas behaviour in deep geological repositories is critical for assessing the long-term performance of engineered barrier systems, particularly those based on compacted bentonite. In the context of repository conditions, the non-ideal...

... results on hygroscopic granular assemblies. The material studied therein shows a dilation–compaction response in oedometric conditions, despite the constant load, driven by the evolving properties of the particles. To model this complex response, an intentionally simple discrete element approach...
