Prediction Model of Minimum Void Ratio for Various Sizes/Shapes of Sandy Binary Mixture by Chaojie Shen, Zhaoyang Xu, Jie Yin, Jinfeng Wu

“…Based on a study of binary mixtures of natural sand from three different origins and iron particles of two different shapes, this paper analyzes the influence factors of the minimum void ratio, and a quadratic nonlinear model is proposed for estimating the minimum void ratio of binary mixture. The model contains only one undetermined coefficient, a, the value of which is correlated to the particle sphericity, particle size, and particle size ratio. …”
