Dissipated energy (solid line) and total number of broken contacts (dotted line) of BAM and static compaction (SC) aggregates while pulling the plates apart. The size of both samples is 50 × 50 × 30   μm, and their initial filling factor is φ = 0.28. The critical force Fc and critical distance δc at which a contact breaks are used to normalize the energies. For comparison, the corresponding tension (dashed-dotted line) is also plotted.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
