Effect of the Surface Roughness on the Shear Strength of Granular Materials in Ring Shear Tests [PDF]
Surface roughness plays an important role in estimating the shear strength of granular materials. A series of ring shear tests with different surface roughnesses (i.e., smooth and rough surfaces) were performed.

Size effect during dynamic shear tests with hat-shaped specimens
The failure mechanism and size effect during the quasi-static and dynamic shear tests of hat-shaped specimens were investigated in this study. Three types of specimens with different shear ring thicknesses (800, 400, and 50 μm) were designed.
