Three-dimensional DEM investigation of the stress-dilatancy relation of grain-cementing type methane hydrate-bearing sediment

In this study, the Discrete Element Method (DEM) was employed to investigate numerically the effects of hydrate cementation and intermediate principal stress on the stress-dilatancy relation of grain-cementing type methane hydrate-bearing sediment (MHBS) by conducting a series of conventional and tr...
