(a) Incremental mean deviatoric strain history, (b) Incremental mean volumetric strain history, (c) Cummulative deviatoric strain history, (d) Cummulative volumetric strain history for test A (red line) and test B (blue line). Negative/positive volumetric strain (bold/dashed lines) represent compaction/dilation, respectively. These plots show that average local strain evolution was similar between the two samples until the constant AE event rate loading protocol prevented critical acceleration of the average local strain rate.
