On uniaxial compression and Jenike direct shear testings ...
The bulk density curve essentially reflected the compressibility of an iron ore sample, and can be defined as (3) Ψ = ρ B σ 1 − ρ B 0 ρ B 0. where ρ B (σ 1) and ρ B (0) were the bulk density under σ 1 and zero normal stresses. Since the material mass input into a bulk density test cell was fixed, therefore, (4) ρ B σ 1 ∙ V σ 1 ...
