The lecture describes attempts to develop these new apparatus and presents data for a range of coarse-grained geomaterials at the single particle scale. The roles of the particle morphology and hence geological origin are discussed and are shown to influence both the contact mechanics and particle breakage behaviour. The mechanics of single particles are shown to be more complex than generally assumed and will require new means of modelling to account for the significant plasticity that occurs at particle contacts and patterns of breakage that are strongly influenced by the origins of particles and their effect on their morphology. date: 2024 date_type: published publisher: Associacao Brasileira de Mecanica dos Solos official_url: https://doi.org/10.28927/SR.2024.006723 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2115060 doi: 10.28927/SR.2024.006723 lyricists_name: Coop, Matthew Richard lyricists_id: MRCOO77 actors_name: Coop, Matthew Richard actors_id: MRCOO77 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: EP/S026460/1 [Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council] full_text_status: public publication: Soils and Rocks volume: 47 number: 3 article_number: e2024006723 citation: Coop, Matthew Richard; (2024) The 7th Bishop Lecture: The mechanics of coarse-grained geomaterials at meso- and micro-scales.
