Using Synchrotron-Based X-Ray Microcomputed Tomography to Characterize Water Distribution in Compacted Soils by Zhong-Sen Li, Lian-Sheng Tang

“…The three-dimensional (3D) microstructure of the samples including air, liquid, and solid phases was reconstructed, and some new observations were obtained: (i) the iodine-based contrast medium (KI) can increase the peak greyscale value of water from 110 to 122, enhance the air-water contrast, and thus facilitate the segmentation of water phase; (ii) in the compacted glass beads and sand, water distribution is characterized using the μ-CT and image reconstruction technique. …”

Influence of the Mesoscopic Viscoelastic Contact Model on Characterizing the Rheological Behavior of Asphalt Concrete in the DEM Simulation by Jiaolong Ren, Zhe Liu, Jinshun Xue, Yinshan Xu

“…The numerical simulation based on the discrete element method (DEM) is popular to analyze the material behavior of asphalt concrete in recent years because of the advantage of the DEM in characterizing the heterogeneous microstructures. As a type of viscoelastic material, the rheological behavior of asphalt concrete is represented depending on the mesoscopic viscoelastic contact model between two particles in a contact in DEM simulations. …”
