The plastic limit of clays [PDF]
, 2013 The plastic limit of soils was first described by Atterberg in 1911. The thread-rolling test was standardised at the US Public Roads Bureau in the 1920s and 1930s, and has subsequently become one of the standard tests of soil mechanics.

Influence of Rotations on the Critical State of Soil Mechanics [PDF]
, 2010 The ability of grains to rotate can play a crucial role on the collective behavior of granular media. It has been observed in computer simulations that imposing a torque at the contacts modifies the force chains, making support chains less important.

Developing a high capacity axis translation apparatus for gas shale testing [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Gas shales are usually partially saturated due to hydrocarbon generation and often have a low in-situ degree of saturation less than 40 %. During stimulation, substantial fluid imbibition into the formation occurs due to high suction.
