Compositional Effects and Mechanical Parametric Analysis of Outwash Deposits Based on the Randomised Generation of Stone Blocks

Figure 3

The statistical results of the size and the lengths of the long axis of stone blocks. (a) the in situ outwash deposits; (b) definition of the long axis and short axis for stone blocks; the long axis is the largest distance between vertices along the stone outline, while the short axis is the maximum segment length normal to the long axis direction; (c) the statistical results of the size of stone blocks; (d) the statistical results of the lengths of the long axis of stone blocks.
