.... The researchers also used Particle Flow Code 2D for simulating the crack process and achieved consistent outcomes. In this experiment, rock specimens were made from Beijing Fangshan granite. The results of the experiment determined the effects of impact pressures and loading angles on the crack mode...

...D. Jelagin; M. Saadati; I. Jerjen; P.-L. Larsson The length, orientation, and population of pre-existing cracks play an important role in the mechanical response of quasi-brittle materials, such as granite. Specifically, Bohus granite rock is at issue in the present investigation. The aims...

...M. Saadati; P. Forquin; K. Weddfelt; P. L. Larsson; F. Hild In this investigation, experiments were carried out in order to determine the mechanical properties of Bohus granite considering the influence from pre-existing cracks and defects. The experimental investigation aimed at a complete...

...JT Gomez; A Shukla Static and dynamic compression experiments were performed on concrete and granite specimens with various levels of induced damage. Damage was induced into the specimens by repeated impacts from a falling weight and quantified as a measure of damage crack surface area per volume...

... among all the wear measurement methods. The laser beam is the least preferred method due to the equipment cost and availability. Mohs' mineralogical scratch method was used to assess hardness, which is possibly related logarithmically to the Taber wear. The stone types were two granites and two marbles...

...F Gascón; M Balbás An optical method to measure granite surface finish is described. This method is capable of ordering the different varieties of granite subjected to the same industrial finishing process consistently with an arrangement made by an average human observer. The measure of finish...
