Strength and energy consumption of inherently anisotropic rocks at failure
David Cantor, Carlos Ovalle, Emilien Azéma
Using a discrete-element approach and a bonding interaction law, we model and test crushable inherently anisotropic structures reminiscent of the layering found in sedimentary and…

Microstructural origins of crushing strength for inherently anisotropic brittle materials
David Cantor, Carlos Ovalle, Emilien Azéma
We study the crushing strength of brittle materials whose internal structure (e.g., mineral particles or graining) presents a layered arrangement reminiscent of sedimentary and met…
