Increased water content in rocks can result in a decline in their strength and an increase in
deformation, which can lead to geological disasters such as landslides and tunnel …

Widely distributed fissures in the open-pit slope (especially those which are in water-rich
conditions) determine the slope stability. In order to study the effects of water and fissures on …

In this paper, a series of uniaxial compression experiments were carried out on sandstone
with varying water contents, and acoustic emission (AE) signals were synchronously …

Acoustic emissions (AE) and stress–strain curve analysis are accepted methods of
analyzing crack propagation and monitoring various failure stages, including crack closure …

To study the acoustic characteristics and failure mode of the rock failure process under a
complex stress state, acoustic emission (AE) monitoring technology was employed to collect …

The potential mechanism responsible for water-weakening effects on the direct tensile
failure of rocks remains poorly understood due to the difficulty of experimental control and …

The influence of rock mineral composition and mineral grain size on basic rock strength
performance and AE characteristics have been studied, 13 different rocks microstructures …

Rock salt cavities for energy storage are important elements of energy supply management
and sustainability. The mechanical properties of other common rocks have already been …

The mechanical, acoustic, and fracture behaviors of sandstone play important roles in
design and stability analysis in rock engineering applications. In this research, a series of …

Acoustic emission (AE) is a popular technique to monitor the process of rock failure during
hydraulic fracturing for unconventional natural gas production. It contains abundant …
