...S. Mondal; S.H. Chow; M.J. Cassidy The micro-mechanical behaviour of granular materials controls their macro-mechanical response during shearing. This study aims to bridge the gap between both the micro and macro scales by introducing an imaging-friendly, modified simple shear apparatus...

...Z. Liu; S. Li; X. Feng; R. Liu This study investigated the effect of initial normal stress on the non-linear hydraulic properties of fractures during shearing. A natural rough fracture is utilised to generate the rough fracture model and a mathematical expression for predicting the normal...
