Effect of heterogeneity on mechanical and micro-seismic behaviors of sandstone subjected to multi-level cyclic loading: A discrete element method investigation

In numerical simulation of the mechanical responses and acoustic emission (AE) characteristics of rocks under cyclic loading, the impacts of compositional heterogeneities of mineral grains have barely been considered. This will lead to a poor reproduction of rock's behaviors in terms of stress-...
